Renewable Capacity Statistics 2025: Solar Power Leads
Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy Statistics IRENA published renewable power generation capacity statistics for the 2024 and for the past decade. The world''s renewable power
In 2024, solar contributed 81% of all new renewable capacity added worldwide. Regarding global power generation, solar nearly doubled its share over the past 3 years, growing by 1.3 percentage points only last year to a 7% share in the world's electricity mix.
State-owned energy giants such as State Power Investment Corp. (SPIC), China Energy Group, and Huaneng Energy also ramped up investment in distributed solar to meet the country's 14th five-year plan goals, which stipulate an increase in renewable energy capacity.
In 2024, China once again dominated the global solar market, installing an impressive 329 GW, over six times the capacity added by the second-ranked United States, and exceeding the combined total of all other top 10 markets.
With 449 GW installed in 2023 and 597 GW in 2024, global cumulative installed solar PV capacity reached 2.2 TW by the end of 2024 (see Fig. 3). The solar industry was able to celebrate this milestone at COP29 Baku in Azerbaijan. However, this capacity remains unevenly distributed, with the Asia-Pacific region dominating the global landscape.
