This year s average wind and photovoltaic power generation
Executive summary – Renewables 2023 – Analysis
In 2023, an estimated 96% of newly installed, utility-scale solar PV and onshore wind capacity had lower generation costs than new coal and natural gas plants. In addition, three-quarters of new wind and solar PV plants offered cheaper
European Electricity Review 2024
For the first time, more than a quarter of EU electricity (27%) was provided by wind and solar in 2023, up from 23% in 2022. This drove renewable electricity to a record high of 44%, passing the 40% mark for the first year in
Global Electricity Review 2023
The growth alone in wind and solar generation (+557 TWh) met 80% of global electricity demand growth in 2022 (+694 TWh). Clean power growth is likely to exceed electricity demand growth in 2023; this would be the first

Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2023
Between 2022 and 2023, utility-scale solar PV projects showed the most significant decrease (by 12%). For newly commissioned onshore wind projects, the global weighted average LCOE fell by 3% year-on-year; whilst for offshore
Potential assessment of large-scale hydro-photovoltaic-wind hybrid
Recent years have seen a rapid energy transition from traditional fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind power [[1], [2], [3]] stalled PV
Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2023
The levelised cost of electricity produced from most forms of renewable power continued to fall year-on-year in 2023, with solar PV leading the cost reductions, followed by offshore wind. The most dramatic decline has been seen for
Analysis: Wind and solar added more to global energy
Global energy demand reached a record high of 620 exajoules (EJ) in 2023, with annual growth of 2.0%, slightly above the 1.5% per year average for the last decade. Wind and solar together were the largest source
Assessment of wind and photovoltaic power potential in China
turbines and PV modules, were used to assess the theoretical wind and PV power generation. Then, the technical, policy and economic (i.e., theoretical power generation) constraints for
6 FAQs about [This year s average wind and photovoltaic power generation]
What percentage of EU electricity is generated by wind & solar?
For the first time, more than a quarter of EU electricity (27%) was provided by wind and solar in 2023, up from 23% in 2022. This drove renewable electricity to a record high of 44%, passing the 40% mark for the first year in the EU’s history. Combined wind and solar generation increased by a record 90 TWh and installed capacity by 73 GW.
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.
What would happen if wind and solar energy grew more?
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).
How much of the world's electricity is generated by wind and solar?
REUTERS/Toby Melville LONDON, April 12 (Reuters) - Wind and solar energy represented a record 12% of global electricity generation last year, up from 10% in 2021, a report on Wednesday found.
Are solar PV projects reducing the cost of electricity in 2022?
Between 2022 and 2023, utility-scale solar PV projects showed the most significant decrease (by 12%). For newly commissioned onshore wind projects, the global weighted average LCOE fell by 3% year-on-year; whilst for offshore wind, the cost of electricity of new projects decreased by 7% compared to 2022.
Will wind and solar power grow in 2022?
The growth alone in wind and solar generation (+557 TWh) met 80% of global electricity demand growth in 2022 (+694 TWh). Clean power growth is likely to exceed electricity demand growth in 2023; this would be the first year for this to happen outside of a recession.
