Thus, IRENA suggests where and how the country can develop solar and wind energy, receive biomass energy, where it is better to promote the development of hydropower and geothermal energy. IRENA helps in the development of best practices and in the search for better technologies. Since 2012, IRENA has developed a program called "International partnership for training in RES."
