Summary of IRENA's Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024

Core Content

IRENA's Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024 provides an overview of the global status of renewable energy capacity, highlighting key trends and data from 2023. The report underscores the importance of renewable energy in achieving a sustainable energy future and outlines the progress made in expanding renewable power generation capacity.

Key Findings

• Global Renewable Capacity: By the end of 2023, renewable energy accounted for 43% of the global installed power capacity.
• Renewable Power Additions: In 2023, 473 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable energy capacity was added, marking the largest increase to date, with a 13.9% growth in total renewable power capacity.
• Solar and Wind Dominance:
  • Solar power accounted for a record 346 GW of new additions, making up nearly 73% of all renewable additions.
  • Wind energy added 116 GW, contributing to the overall growth.
• Global Power Additions: Renewables represented a record 86% of global power additions in 2023.
• 2030 Target: The world is still falling short of the COP 28 goal to triple installed renewable power capacity by 2030, aiming to reach 11 terawatts (TW).
• Annual Requirement: With one less year to meet the target, the world now needs to add approximately 1050 GW of renewable capacity annually for the rest of the decade to stay on track for the 1.5°C pathway.

Key Challenges

• Grid Flexibility: As renewable energy becomes a larger share of the power mix, grid flexibility and adaptation to the variability of renewable power sources remain critical challenges.
• Energy Access and Security: Ensuring energy access and security while increasing renewable capacity is an ongoing priority.
• Sustainable Development: The report emphasizes the need for a just, inclusive, and sustainable energy transition.

Data Sources and Methodology

• The data is sourced from various entities, including:
  • IRENA questionnaire
  • Official statistics
  • Industry association reports
  • Other reports and news articles
• Data is presented in megawatts (MW), rounded to the nearest one megawatt, with values below 0.5 MW shown as 0.
• Indicators are used to denote the source of data:
  • "o" for official sources (e.g., national statistical offices, government departments, regulators, and power companies)
  • "u" for unofficial sources (e.g., industry associations and news articles)
  • "e" for IRENA estimates based on multiple data sources
• All data from the IRENA questionnaire is presented without any indicator.

Conclusion

IRENA's Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024 highlights the rapid growth of renewable energy capacity globally, with solar and wind leading the expansion. Despite this progress, the 1.5°C pathway remains challenging, requiring accelerated investments and policy support to meet the 2030 target of 11 TW of installed renewable capacity. The report emphasizes the importance of international cooperation, grid adaptability, and sustainable development in achieving a clean energy future.
