The [[Energy Watch Group]] (EWG), a coalition of scientists and politicians which analyses official [[energy industry]] predictions, claims that the IEA has had an institutional bias towards traditional energy sources and has been using "misleading data" to undermine the case for renewable energy, such as [[wind]] and solar. A 2008 EWG report compares IEA projections about the growth of [[wind power]] capacity and finds that it has consistently underestimated the amount of energy the [[wind power industry]] can deliver.<ref name="ie">{{Cite web |date=12 January 2009 |title=IEA accused of "deliberately" undermining global renewables industry |url=http://www.businessgreen.com/business-green/news/2233776/iea-accused-deliberately}}</ref> | The [[Energy Watch Group]] (EWG), a coalition of scientists and politicians which analyses official [[energy industry]] predictions, claims that the IEA has had an institutional bias towards traditional energy sources and has been using "misleading data" to undermine the case for renewable energy, such as [[wind]] and solar.
