                         large-scale use of renewable energy technologies for production of 
                         thermal energy, electricity, and fuels. The Global Environment 
                         Facility (GEF)is committed to supporting the use of renewable 
                         energy technologies on an unprecedented scale throughout the 
                         world. The lack of reliable and sufficiently detailed and easily 
                         used solar and wind energy resource data is a primary obstacle to 
                         both public-sector and private-sector investments in renewable 
                         energy applications in the developing world. Thus there is a 
                         significant need to develop refined estimates of these resources 
                         world-wide, and to incorporate the information into a Geographic 
                         Information Systems (GIS)framework that will support effective 
                         regional and national planning, and prudent renewable energy 
                         investment decisions. Over the next several decades large-scale 
                         applications of wind electric and solar electric technologies 
                         could grow to several hundred thousand megawatts. By 2008 the 
                         European Wind Energy Association expects 70,000 MWe of wind 
                         electric capacity to be in place globally. The great majority is 
                         expected in Europe and the United States, despite of the enormous 
                         and growing potential in the developing world. Similarly, the 
                         potential applications of photovoltaic technologies are expected 
                         to continue to grow robustly (>30/year), with market breakthroughs 
                         as installed system prices fall below ca. US- 4 - 6 per watt over 
                         the coming decade. Solar thermal power plants may also achieve
