State of the market
We analyse and use data from multiple inputs to ensure we know how to react to challenges in the industry.
The Paris Agreement aims to increase the share of renewables in the global energy mix from its current level of 14 percent to 77 percent by 2050
Globally, wind and solar accounted for a record 12% of power generation, with solar generation increasing 25% and wind rising 14% compared to 2021
2023 was a record year for renewables investments; IRENA estimates that wind, solar, and other clean energy projects attracted about USD 1.5 trillion.
61% of renewable energy industry stakeholders surveyed by KPMG International cited supply chain risks as a significant obstacle to scaling renewables.
According to the IEA, 770 million people around the globe lacked access to electricity in 2023
In 2023 China produced 31% of global renewable electricity, followed by the United States (11%), Brazil (6.4%), Canada (5.4%) and India (3.9%)
The renewable energy industry employs almost 14 million people
Construction costs are forecast to rise just over 3% in the year to Q3 2024
