4448 GWAT The productive capacity of globally renewable energy in 2024 per growth of 15.1 %

Abu Dhabi, March 26 / WAM / The report “Statistics of the Productive Power of Renewable Energy 2025”, which was published by the International Renewable Energy Agency “IRina” today, revealed a significant growth in the productive capacity of renewable energy during the year 2024, as it reached 4448 GW, an increase of 585 GW, to constitute 92.5 % of the total expansion of the productive capacity,, And achieve a record annual growth at a rate of 15.1 %.
Although 2024 scored a new criterion in the productive capacity and growth of renewable energy, the progress of this pace is still limited to achieving the global goal of doubling the capabilities of renewable energy production three times to 11.2 Taewat by 2030, which requires that the productive capacity of renewable energy expand at a rate of 16.6% annually until 2030.
The progress made reflects the variation of the growth of renewable energy capabilities at the geographical level. Like the previous years, Asia accounted for the largest share of this expansion, and this came driven in China, whose productive capacity increased by 64%, while Central America and the Caribbean region acquired the lowest percentage by only 3.2%, and the group of the seven industrial countries increased and the Group of Twenty increased its productive capacity of Renewable energy at a rate of 14.3% and 90.3%, respectively, in 2024.
Franchisco La Camera, Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency said that the continuous annual growth of renewable energy sources is the best proof that these sources are economically rewarding, and easily published, indicating that although they break the record numbers of expansion every year, they face the same challenges of varying the growth of renewable energy capabilities at the regional level, which began to be alarming with the approaching The deadline for the year 2030.
“The importance of expanding the production capacity of renewable energy stems more quickly than the growing global anxiety due to the increase in economic competition and concerns related to energy security. Consequently, investing in this field to ensure energy security quickly and sustainable is no less important than seizing other business opportunities. I invite governments to take advantage of the next third round of nationally defined contributions as an ideal opportunity to develop a clear plan for their energy aspirations Renewable, and I also call on the international community to enhance cooperation and support the aspirations of the countries of the world.
For his part, Antonio Guterres, the Secretary -General of the United Nations, said that every renewed energy increased is corresponding to the decline of the fossil energy age. The standard growth of the renewable energy sector also contributes to finding job opportunities, reducing spending on energy bills, and enhancing environmental cleanliness, but work must be done to accelerate the process of transformation to renewable energy and make it more fair by giving all countries equal opportunities to benefit from clean, low -cost renewable energy.
Solar energy and wind energy topped the scene of expansion by their acquisition of 96.6%of the net renewable energy additions in 2024, where the production capacity of solar energy acquired three quarters of the expansion, increased by 32.2%, to reach 1865 GW, and then the wind energy ranked second by 11.1%.
The decline in non -renewable energy activities in some areas has enhanced the productive capacity of renewable energy. However, more efforts should be made to reach the goals of renewable energy capacity three times by 2030 and the Paris Agreement.

Over the past few years, the International Renewable Energy Agency has been pressuring to set clear and quantitative measuring goals of renewable energy capabilities in the third round of nationally defined contributions.

To achieve this, the agency contributes to strengthening and implementing the nationally defined contributions to its members, with a focus on the energy sector through its participation with various countries.
And the ability of solar PV production increased by 451.9 GW last year. China alone accounted for 278 GW of this expansion, and India ranked second (24.5 GW).
With the exception of the pumping water capacity, the production capacity of the electrical energy reached 1283 GW, indicating a remarkable recovery since 2023, and this was driven by China’s efforts.

Ethiopia, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Tanzania and Vietnam have contributed more than 0.5 GW for each of them.
Wind power expansion decreased slightly, bringing its productive capacity to a total of 1133 GW by the end of 2024. China and the United States again replaced this expansion.
The vital energy continued in 2024, an increase of 4.6 GW compared to 3.0 GW in 2023, and this growth came driven by the efforts of China and France, as each of them contributed 1.3 GW.
The production capacity of the Earth’s Earth Energy witnessed 0.4 GW growth in general, and New Zealand was at the top of this expansion, followed by Indonesia, Turkey and the United States.
With the exception of Eurasia, Europe and North America, the productive capacity of renewable energy that is not connected to the network witnessed a three -fold growth, an increase of 1.7 GW to 14.3 GW, dominated by solar energy, whose production capabilities that are not connected to the network reached 6.3 GW by 2024.
