Clean Energy Market Monitor – November 2024 Summary

Introduction

The International Energy Agency (IEA) launched the Clean Energy Market Monitor in March 2024, with this November edition providing an update on clean energy trends as of mid-2024. The report tracks technology deployment, equipment prices, financial performance, and CO2 emissions to inform policy and market analysis.

Key Findings

Clean Technology Deployment Trends

• Solar PV: Capacity additions increased by 36% year-over-year in key markets, including China (130 GW added, +1/3 from last year) and the United States (20.8 GW added, +78%). Price declines contributed to this growth, with module prices halving over the last year.
• Wind Power: New capacity additions remained stable in China but decreased in the United States and Germany, partly due to project delays awaiting policy confirmations.
• Electric Vehicles (EVs): Global EV sales rose by 25%, with market share nearing 20%. China saw a 32% sales increase, while Europe's growth slowed due to policy changes and incentive withdrawals.
• Heat Pumps: Global sales declined by 10%, driven by sharp drops in Europe (almost 50% year-over-year), despite growth in China and stable performance in the US and Japan.

Clean Energy Equipment Price Trends

• Equipment prices have reversed post-pandemic increases, with the overall index down 22% since the peak. Solar PV modules dropped ~60% from the pandemic peak, EV batteries decreased ~20%, and wind turbine prices fell ~5% year-over-year.

Financial Performance of Clean Energy Companies

• Profit margins improved in the post-pandemic period but are declining due to excess capacity and competition, especially in solar PV (China's margins fell from ~13% to -5%), batteries, and EVs. China's manufacturers show resilience in batteries and EVs, but ROW companies face margin pressures.

CO2 Emission Trends from the Electricity Sector

• Despite higher demand from extreme weather, CO2 emissions from electricity generation in tracked countries fell by ~1% year-over-year through mid-October, driven by renewable energy growth (+8% generation). The European Union led decarbonization, with renewables and nuclear accounting for ~75% of generation.

Conclusion

Clean energy transitions continue to accelerate, with notable growth in deployment and prices, yet challenges persist in financial stability and regional disparities. The report underscores the importance of policy support and market dynamics in shaping global energy trends.
