Saudi Arabia bets on renewable energy

Saudi Arabia bets on renewable energy:

"Saudi Arabia is launching an online atlas of renewable resources as part of a wider project to identify the potential renewable energy sources and where best to deploy technology to tap into those resources.

The atlas data will be available in late 2013, published online through the Renewable Resource Monitoring and Mapping programme.

The King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KACARE), which is managing the project, is in the process of establishing more than 70 meteorological stations and centres nationwide to collect data on renewable energy potential, according to an official press release."
