Renewable energy power generation around the world, 50% expansion in 5 years = IEA

[London, 21st Reuters]-The International Energy Agency (IEA) has shown that the world's renewable energy capacity will expand by 50% in five years. We expect that solar power generation facilities will be installed in houses and buildings.

According to IEA's annual report on renewable energy, renewable energy generation capacity will increase by 1.2 TW by 2024 from last year's 2.5 terawatts (TW), on a scale comparable to US current generation capacity The prospect to reach.

Solar power generation accounts for about 60% of the increase, and 25% is wind power generation.

The share of renewable energy in power generation capacity is expected to increase from 26% at present to 30% in 2024.

IEA explained that the forecast for renewable energy power generation was higher than last year due to lower technical costs and government incentives.

“Renewable energy is already the second largest power source in the world, but it is necessary to accelerate the development of related facilities in order to achieve the long-term goals of the environment, air purification, and energy security,” said IEA Director General Virol. There is. "
