Renewables – including electricity, heat, biofuels and biogas – account for just 11% of governments'' economic recovery spending on clean energy. Renewables are expected to receive USD 42 billion, led by solar PV and offshore wind. But greater public spending on renewable power could mobilise more than USD 400 billion of total investment.
