power generation

More than a quarter of the European Union’s (EU) electricity (27%) came from solar and wind in 2023, according to new analysis from energy thinktank Ember.

The National Energy Administration of China has unveiled that the country's newly added PV capacity in the first five months of 2023 was 61.2GW.

The National Energy Administration's (NEA) official website issued a Guideline On Energy Work In 2023, targeting 160GW of new PV and wind.

A record growth from solar and wind power, increased its global electricity to 12% in 2022, however, other clean energy resources have dropped for the first time since 2011, according to energy thinktank Ember.

Solar and wind installations in the US could account for between 40% and 62% of total electricity generation by 2030, according to a report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

The share of renewables in net electricity generation in Germany nearly accounted for half of total power generation in 2022 with 49.6%, according to the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).

Solar accounted for half of all global power generating capacity added last year, with 182GW deployed, a 25% increase on 2020, according to a report from BloombergNEF (BNEF).

Energy giant Statkraft intends to develop 4GW of onshore renewables each year by 2030, an acceleration of its previous 2025 target of 2.5GW - 3GW.

Solar and wind power reached a record 10% of global electricity in 2021. That milestone has now been reached by 50 countries across the world including all five of the world’s largest economies, although power sector emissions have reached an all-time high, according to energy thinktank Ember.

Favorable weather conditions in Germany contributed to renewables accounting for more than half of power generation in January and February this year.
