Production of "clean" energy in the world increased by 68% in 7 years, - statistics

During the last decade, energy production from RES has increased. Such data are provided by the International Renewable Energy Agency.

In 2014, renewable energy capacity was 1,829 GW, according to the organization. In 2021, global capacity reached 3,064 GW.

With the development of renewable energy technologies, the energy produced at solar plants has fallen in price most of all. Therefore, in 2014, it took $0.38 to generate 1 kWh of energy. In 2021 - $0.048.

Thus, energy generated by solar plants or panels has become cheaper than production using offshore wind.

However, by international comparison, onshore wind remains the cheapest source at $0.033 per kWh.
