- Comment on 92.5% of New Power Capacity Added Worldwide in 2024 Was from Renewables - CleanTechnica 1 week ago:
The IEA states that:
In 2024, 80% of the growth in global electricity generation was provided by renewable sources and nuclear power. Together, they contributed 40% of total generation for the first time, with renewables alone supplying 32%.
So 32% of new electricity generation in 2024 was provided by renewables. In 2023 renewables accounted for about 23% of electricity generation, and 13% of total energy consumption.
- Comment on Record-Breaking Annual Growth in Renewable Power Capacity; With 585 GW of capacity additions, renewables accounted for over 90% of total power expansion globally in 2024. 1 week ago:
I commented this in a related post, but according to the IEA, in 2024 renewables accounted for 38% of new energy generation, and 32% of new electricity generation. That’s a big discrepancy from the 90% cited in this report, which refers to "renewable power capacity,"defined as:
the maximum net generating capacity of power plants and other installations that use renewable energy sources to produce electricity.
Not quite sure why that difference in definition leads to such different figures.

According to the IEA, in 2024 renewables accounted for 38% of new energy generation, and 80% of new electricity generation. I’m not sure where the discrepancy comes from between that number and the 92.5% number here in this paper. Either way, it’s great news.
