It is published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and includes data from multiple sources such as official statistics, industry reports, and public financial institutions. The report outlines the global and regional developments in renewable energy, with a focus on the following energy types: hydropower, wind energy, solar energy, bioenergy, and geothermal energy. It also presents public renewable energy finance flows, indicating the investment trends in these sectors. ## Main Points - **IRENA's Role**: IRENA is an intergovernmental organization that supports countries in transitioning to a sustainable energy future and serves as a platform for international cooperation. - **Data Sources**: Data is collected from a variety of sources, including IRENA questionnaires, official statistics, industry association reports, and public financial institutions. - **Data Classification**: - **"o"** indicates data from official sources. - **"u"** indicates data from unofficial sources. - **"e"** indicates data estimated by IRENA. - **Units and Rounding**: - Capacity is presented in megawatts (MW), rounded to the nearest MW. - Generation is presented in gigawatt-hours (GWh), rounded to the nearest GWh. - Values between 0 and 0.5 are shown as 0. - **Coverage**: - The report includes data for over 100 countries, areas, and regions. - It covers both on-grid and off-grid renewable energy capacity and production. - It also includes public finance flows for renewable energy investments. ## Key Information ### Renewable Energy Capacity and Production - **Total Renewable Energy Capacity** globally increased from 2,021,302 MW in 2016 to 5,155,007 MW in 2025. - **Africa** saw a steady rise in renewable energy capacity, from 37,076 MW in 2016 to 82,397 MW in 2025. - **Hydropower** remains the largest contributor to renewable energy capacity, with notable growth in countries like Ethiopia and Egypt. - **Wind Energy** and **Solar Energy** have shown significant growth in several regions, particularly in countries such as Kenya, South Africa, and Brazil. - **Bioenergy** includes solid, liquid, and gaseous biofuels, with some countries like Ethiopia and Kenya showing substantial increases in capacity. ### Off-Grid Renewable Energy - **Off-grid capacity** is presented separately, highlighting the importance of decentralized energy systems. - Off-grid solar photovoltaic and hydropower are notable contributors, especially in developing regions with limited grid access. ### Public Renewable Energy Finance Flows - The report includes data on public investments in renewable energy, presented in USD million. - Investments are aggregated by country and technology, based on project-level information. - Data is available for download at [www.irena.org/statistics](www.irena.org/statistics). ## Regions Covered - **Africa**: Includes all African countries, with specific emphasis on growth trends. - **Asia**: Lists all Asian countries, including China, India, and others. - **Central America and the Caribbean**: Includes countries such as Costa Rica, Cuba, and others. - **Eurasia**: Covers countries like Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia. - **Europe**: Lists all European countries, including the UK, Germany, and others. - **Middle East**: Includes countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the UAE. - **North America**: Includes the United States, Canada, and Bermuda. - **Oceania**: Covers countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. ## Notes and Disclaimer - The data is subject to rounding and may not always match capacity and production figures due to various factors. - The designation of **Kosovo\*** is in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) and does not imply any position on its status. - All data is based on the **UN Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use (M49)**. ## Conclusion The document serves as a key reference for understanding global renewable energy trends and investment patterns. It provides valuable insights into the growth of different energy sources and their distribution across regions, supporting policy-making and strategic planning for sustainable energy development.
