During the past decade, more renewable power was added to the grid annually than fossil fuel and nuclear power combined. Renewable technologies dominate the global energy market for new electricity generation capacity simply because they have become the cheapest sources of electricity in many markets. 260 gigawatts of renewables-based generation capacity was added globally in 2020, more than four times from other sources. But progress must continue to accelerate. The IEA 2050 Report calls for additions of solar photovoltaics to reach 630 gigawatts annually by 2030, a pace that is roughly equivalent to installing the world’s largest current solar park nearly every day. IEA also calls for annual wind power installations to reach 390 gigawatts, four times the level achieved in 2020.
