READ MOREDong et al. [47] tested the EKC hypothesis with carbon emissions, economic growth, and renewable energy consumption for 120 countries over the period 1995–2015. The results show that the EKC hypothesis is valid for the global panel. Moreover, renewable energy consumption reduces carbon emissions for the global panel.

READ MOREAt-a-glance. Renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the United States, increasing 42 percent from 2010 to 2020 (up 90 percent from 2000 to 2020). Renewables made up nearly 20 percent of utility-scale U.S. electricity generation in 2020, with the bulk coming from hydropower (7.3 percent) and wind power (8.4 percent).
READ MORE3 · Renewable capacity will meet 35% of global power generation by 2025, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The organization also says electricity demand is forecast to grow by 3% a year over the next three years compared to 2022, with a third of global consumption in China. The Energy Information Administration predicts
READ MORERenewable capacity is expected to further increase over 8% in 2022, reaching almost 320 GW. However, unless new policies are implemented rapidly, growth remains stable in 2023 because solar PV expansion cannot fully compensate for lower hydropower and steady year-on-year wind additions. Globally, forecast additions for 2022
READ MOREAbout this report. Renewables 2022 is the IEA''s primary analysis on the sector, based on current policies and market developments. It forecasts the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat to 2027 while also exploring key challenges to the industry and identifying barriers to faster growth.

READ MOREThe transition to RES, coupled with economic growth, will cause electricity demand to soar—increasing by 40 percent from 2020 to 2030, and doubling by 2050. 1. Utilities confront two significant challenges when integrating RES into electric grids. First, they face network inadequacy, with a lack of physical capacity to accommodate supply
READ MORERenewables are on track to set new records in 2021. Renewable electricity generation in 2021 is set to expand by more than 8% to reach 8 300 TWh, the fastest year-on-year growth since the 1970s. Solar PV and wind are set to contribute two-thirds of renewables growth. China alone should account for almost half of the global increase in renewable
