Global New Energy Rising
Renewable Capacity Highlights 2016
7 April 2016 (International Renewable Energy Agency)
“…At the end of 2015, global renewable generation capacity amounted to 1,985 GW. Hydro accounted for the largest share of the global total, with an installed capacity of 1,209 GW. Three-quarters of this was in large-scale plants of over 10 MW. Wind and solar energy accounted for most of the remainder, with an installed capacity of 432 GW and 227 GW respectively. Other renewables included 104 GW of bioenergy, 13 GW of geothermal energy and about 500 MW of marine energy (tide, wave and ocean)…Renewable generation capacity increased by 152 GW or 8.3% during 2015, making this the sixth consecutive year that renewable capacity has grown by about 8% or more. Wind energy capacity increased by 63 GW (17%) followed by solar energy, with an increase of 47 GW (26%). Hydropower capacity increased by 35 GW, while both bioenergy and geothermal energy increased by 5% (5 GW and 1 GW respectively)…” click here for more
