Global renewable electricity capacity outlook 2021-2029

Published by Lucía Fernández, Jan 25, 2023
The global renewable electricity capacity is forecast to nearly double in the next decade. Based on current policies, the renewable electricity capacity worldwide is expected to surpass six terawatts by 2029, up from around 3.3 terawatts forecast in 2021. Nevertheless, this would still fall short from the projected 10.8 terawatts of renewable electricity capacity that would be needed by 2030, if global warming is to be limited to 1.5 degree Celsius.
