This development led to the idea of launching a general wiki on renewable energy and energy efficiency. The idea of "<span data-scayt_word="energypedia" data-scaytid="22">energypedia</span>" was born.
| + | By the end of 2013 new information portals such as solar, hydro, wind, bioenergy, improved cooking, mobility , countries, impact, grid, productive use and finance & funding were launched. Energypedia also partnered with other prominent organizations to promote knowledge sharing on renewable energy and energy efficiency topics. |
