Globally, solar PV electricity generation is expected to increase by 145 TWh, almost 18%, to approach 1 000 TWh in 2021. We expect hydropower generation to increase further in 2021 through a combination of economic recovery and new capacity additions from large projects in China.
Together, wind and solar power provided 2,894 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2021. For perspective, in 2010 that number was 380 TWh. Wind and solar reached a 10.2% share of power generation in 2021, which was the first time wind and solar power exceeded more than 10% of global generation.
In 2021, wind and solar accounted for three-quarters of the 364 gigawatts of new capacity built in global power generation. Hydro and nuclear projects met just over one quarter of the world’s electricity needs.
Ember, the energy think tank that compiled the report, says this landmark is 9.3% ahead of 2020 and double the level of 2015, when the Paris Climate Agreement was signed. In 2021, for the first time, wind and solar generated more than 10% of electricity globally. Image: Ember
The worldwide growth of photovoltaics is extremely dynamic and varies strongly by country. In April 2022, the total global solar power capacity reached 1 TW. In 2022, the leading country for solar power was China, with about 390 GW, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the total global installed solar capacity.
In 2021, wind and solar accounted for three-quarters of the 364 gigawatts of new capacity added to global grids. This means that 364 gigawatts of new power was added from wind and solar.
