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.
The world's installed wind power capacity now meets around 10% of global electricity demand – another important milestone. More than ten countries now have a wind power share of more than 20%, led by Denmark, which generates an astonishing 56% of its electricity from wind.
In 2028, renewable energy sources account for over 42% of global electricity generation, with the share of wind and solar PV doubling to 25%. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0 China accounts for almost 60% of new renewable capacity expected to become operational globally by 2028.
Wind and solar are slowing the rise in power sector emissions. If all the electricity from wind and solar instead came from fossil generation, power sector emissions would have been 20% higher in 2022. The growth alone in wind and solar generation (+557 TWh) met 80% of global electricity demand growth in 2022 (+694 TWh).
Total capacity exceeds 1047 Gigawatt 116 Gigawatt added in 2023 equaling 12,5% growth China installed around 75 Gigawatt, two thirds of new capacity Wind power generates 10% of global electricity Download Full WWEA Annnual Report as PDF | #WWEAwebinar Wind Power Around the World | #WWEApodcast: Where Wind Power Stands Globally
The volume of the capacity added is 34% higher than in 2022, when the world added only 86 Gigawatt. This results in a global growth rate of 12,5%, significantly higher than in 2022, when wind capacity grew by only 10,2%. Amongst the top ten countries, Brazil with 20,8% and China with 19,0% have the highest growth rates.
