Spain and the United Arab Emirates are expected to reach grid parity just two years later, followed by Germany, the UK, Denmark and the USA. These estimates are even considered too long by some. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) recently said that clean energy sources will be cheaper than fossil fuels by 2020.
