Solar energy accounts for the proportion of global electricity generation
Global Electricity Review 2022
Wind and solar – the fastest growing sources of clean electricity – hit a tenth of global electricity. Wind and solar generated over a tenth (10.3%) of global electricity for the first time in 2021, rising from 9.3% in 2020, and twice
Solar accounts for 1% of global electricity, how long will the
Solar energy''s vital role in the global energy mix has been secured after recent figures showed it now accounts for 1% of all global electricity demand. This is the equivalent of
Renewable Energy
Power generation from solar PV increased by a record 270 TWh in 2022, up by 26% on 2021. Solar PV accounted for 4.5% of total global electricity generation, and it remains the third largest renewable electricity technology behind
30% of the world''s electricity came from renewable
As the chart shows, renewables produced just over 30% of the world''s electricity in 2023. This growth was mostly driven by the rapid rollout of solar and wind technologies. Hydropower generation actually fell in 2023 as a
