Driven primarily by declining costs and strong policy support, particularly for solar PV and wind energy, the global renewable power installed capacity is estimated to surge from 3.42TW in
With 1''173''581 Megawatt of installed capacity, the world has reached a new record in total installations although it has fallen short of expectations and forecasts for 2024. It is expected
Depending on the data, this can include standardizing country names and world region definitions, converting units, calculating derived indicators such as per capita measures, as well as
Solar, in line with the previous year, accounted for the largest share of the global total, with a capacity of 1 865 GW. Renewable hydropower1 and wind energy accounted for most of the remainder, with total
Solar, wind, and storage accounted for 77% of all new power capacity installed. Utility-scale solar installations soared to 19.6 GW, with utility-scale projects leading the expansion. Energy
The largest fuel source for this capacity is natural gas (42.7%), followed by coal (15%). Wind, nuclear, solar, and hydro together account for more than one-third of capacity. Solar continues to be the main
– Wind and solar accounted for 83% of capacity installed in 2024; together, they have constituted the most capacity installed for 9 years running. – Annual coal and gas additions fell 10%
This dataset contains monthly capacity data for wind and solar, including both total installed capacity as well as month-on-month and year-to-date additions. It covers 25 countries
Solar has become the largest renewable source of installed power capacity in the United States, surpassing wind after 27 consecutive months as the leading source of new grid additions,
