How much in subsidies do fossil fuels receive? How have things changed? When will countries phase out coal power? Our World in Data is free and accessible for everyone. Help us do this work by
In 2023, the U.S. electric power sector produced 4,017 billion kilowatthours (kWh) of electric power. Renewable sources—wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal—accounted for
In the charts shown here, we look at the breakdown of renewable technologies by their components – hydropower, solar, wind, and others. The first chart shows this as a stacked area chart, which allows
Renewable energy statistics 2025 provides datasets on power-generation capacity for 2015-2024, actual power generation for 2015-2023 and renewable energy balances for over 150 countries and areas for
After a 3% drop in global hydropower generation in 2023 due to climate change and El Niño, hydropower generation recovered in many countries, and new solar and wind installations
Renewables made up 22.7 percent of electricity generation in 2024, with hydro, solar and wind making up the majority. That''s expected to rise to 37.4 percent by 2030. Most of the increase is expected to
82% of U.S. energy comes from fossil fuels, 8.7% from nuclear, and 9.1% from renewable sources. In 2023, renewables surpassed coal in energy generation. 1. Global wind additions reached a record
This report uses data from the EIA to analyze solar and wind capacity and generation over the past decade (2014 to 2023) in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
For solar PV, wind and bioenergy for power, deployment has been revised downwards. Solar PV accounts for over 70% of the absolute reduction, mainly from utility-scale projects, while offshore
