Boston, August 2011: Meister Consultants Group (MCG) and its European affiliate company, the Institute for Organizational Communication (IFOK), contributed research to the internationally renowned Renewables 2011 Global Status Report. Produced by the Renewable Energy Network for the 21st century (REN21), the report provides a comprehensive assessment of renewable energy worldwide.

Mr. Jacobs served as the lead topical researcher on feed-in tariffs, providing expertise to compile the report’s comprehensive assessment of feed-in tariff policies across the world.

REN21 convenes international leaders to enable a rapid global transition to renewable energy. It promotes renewable energy to meet the needs of both industrialized and developing countries that are driven by climate change, energy security, development and poverty alleviation.

The international network creates an environment in which ideas and information are shared by professionals and policy-makers to encourage actions that drive renewable energy development.
