6 FAQs about [Wind and solar power generation doubled]

Did wind and solar add more energy in 2023?

One of the most striking details in this year’s report is that wind and solar, when combined, added more new energy to the global mix in 2023 than any other source, as shown in the figure below. The combined 4.9EJ of new energy from wind and solar in 2023 accounted for 40% of the overall increase in global demand, ahead of oil (39%) and coal (20%).

How will solar PV & wind impact global electricity generation?

The share of solar PV and wind in global electricity generation is forecast to double to 25% in 2028 in our main case. This rapid expansion in the next five years will have implications for power systems worldwide.

How much solar PV & wind energy will be generated in 2030?

In a scenario in which countries meet their climate and energy commitments in full and on time, nearly two-thirds of additional solar PV and wind generation in 2030 compared to 2022 is projected to occur in systems at low phases of VRE integration.

How long will it take for solar and wind to double?

With solar and wind they already make up 70% of new generation for electricity, so further up on the curve. Double again in 2.5 years, again in 1.125 years, again in 7 months and again in 3.5 months (total time ~4.5 years) and will be where we want to be with over 100% of our energy from solar and wind. Here is the math:

Will solar PV & wind be part of the global electricity mix?

Consequently, the share of solar PV and wind in the global electricity mix in 2030 would reach 30%, lower than the 35% in the case where integration measures are implemented on time.

Will wind and solar power go down in 2024?

The expansion of wind and solar is expected to continue and even accelerate – particularly if the global goal of tripling renewable capacity by 2030 is to be met. Combined with a recovery in global hydropower output, following a series of major droughts, this could force fossil fuel power into the beginning of structural decline in 2024.
