Share of renewables in global power production 2010-2025

Lately, growing scrutiny of the environmental impact of traditional energy sources has driven rapid expansion of renewables. The share of renewable energy in global electricity generation has increased steadily, reaching around **** percent in 2025.

Increasing capacity and production

As renewable shares continue to rise, so does installed capacity. Since 2010, cumulative renewable energy capacity has grown significantly, alongside a strong increase in renewable electricity production. Despite this steady expansion, renewable energy consumption still remains lower than that of fossil fuels overall.

Consumption on the rise

In recent decades, global consumption of renewable energy has surged significantly, supported by falling costs and expanding deployment across regions. China and the United States are among the leading consumers driving this growth, alongside increasing contributions from Europe and other emerging markets.
