Description (excerpt):
Benchmarking Utility Clean Energy Deployment: 2016 reflects clean energy progress by the largest electric utilities in the United States at a time when worldwide momentum toward clean energy has never been greater. The historic Paris Climate Agreement, forged by 195 countries in December 2015, punctuated a year in which global clean energy investments and renewable energy installations reached all-time highs. The year was also marked by record high global temperatures and several of the strongest hurricanes and typhoons on record, providing yet more evidence of the economic and human cost of climate change and the urgency of accelerating clean energy use globally.
