Germany''s electricity supply is becoming "greener" every year. The share of renewables in electricity consumption has steadily grown over the last few years – rising from around 6% in 2000 to around 38% in 2018. This means that the 35% target for 2020 was reached earlier than expected. By 2025, 40-45% of electricity consumed in Germany
The deployment of renewables for electricity generation, for heat production for buildings and industry, and in transport is one of the main enablers of keeping average global temperature rise below 1.5°C. Modern bioenergy is today the largest source of renewable energy globally, with a more than 50% share of global use in 2022.
As for renewables other than solar power, the share of electricity generated from biomass power was 4.6%, up from 4.1% in the previous year. Wind power, on the other hand, accounted for 0.85%,
Octopus Energy Generation is one of Europe''s largest investors in renewable power, managing ~4GW of renewable electricity over 240 large-scale green energy projects spanning 10 countries, with a combined asset value of £6 billion. In July 2023, we committed a further £15 billion investment in offshore wind which will go towards the generation
As for renewables other than solar power, the share of electricity generated from biomass power was 4.6%, up from 4.1% in the previous year. Wind power, on the other hand, accounted for 0.85%, down slightly from 0.88% a year earlier, while geothermal power remained unchanged at 0.25% from the previous year.
The Offshore Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (ORESS) is an auction-based scheme which invites renewable electricity projects to bid for capacity and receive a guaranteed price for the electricity they generate. Ireland''s first offshore wind auction, ORESS 1, took place in 2023.

This would double the existing share of renewable energy in the European Union. In its 14th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy, published in June 2022, China set a target of 33% of electricity generation to be from renewables by 2025, from around 30% today. In August 2022, the IRA was passed in the United States.
Renewable Energy (RE) offers proven alternatives to the burning of fossil fuels for power generation. The Government is committed to the development of RE in Hong Kong with a view to further improving our air quality.
Key Government Renewable Energy Projects. In accordance with the Hong Kong''s Climate Action Plan 2050 promulgated in October 2021, the Government is grappling with Hong Kong''s geographical and environmental constraints in driving the development of Renewable Energy (RE), and strive to increase its share in the fuel mix for electricity
Annual additions to global renewable electricity capacity are expected to average around 305 GW per year between 2021 and 2026 in the IEA main case forecast. This implies an acceleration of almost 60% compared to renewables'' expansion over the last five years. Continuous policy support in more than 130 countries, ambitious net zero goals
In many parts of the world renewable energy is already a principal energy source. 2018（） Section Ⅱ While fossil fuels – coal, oil, gas – still generate roughly 85 percent of the world''s energy supply, it''s clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar.
Over 2022-2027, renewables are seen growing by almost 2 400 GW in our main forecast, equal to the entire installed power capacity of China today. That''s an 85% acceleration from the previous five years, and almost 30% higher than what was forecast in last year''s report, making it our largest ever upward revision.
The chart below shows the percentage of global electricity production that comes from nuclear or renewable energy, such as solar, wind, hydropower, wind and tidal, and some biomass. Globally, more than a third of our electricity comes from low-carbon sources. However, the majority is still generated from fossil fuels, predominantly coal and gas
The global energy crisis is pushing the accelerator on renewable energy expansion. Global renewable capacity is expected to increase by almost 2 400 GW (almost 75%) between 2022 and 2027 in the IEA main-case forecast, equal to the entire installed power capacity of the People''s Republic of China (hereafter "China").
Renewable energy (or green energy) is energy from renewable natural resources that are replenished on a human timescale. The most widely used renewable energy types are solar energy, wind power and hydropower. Bioenergy and geothermal power are also significant in some countries.
