Renewables 2020 is out!
This new @IEA report shows renewable power is still growing strongly despite the Covid crisis – unlike all other fuels.
Renewable electricity generation will rise 7% in 2020, & capacity additions will set records this year & next https://iea.li/2Ijuop4

The bright prospects of the sector are reflected by continued strong appetite from investors.
This is made clear by shares of solar & wind energy companies outperforming the rest of the energy sector, and by the record level of renewable power capacity auctioned in 2020.

Solar is becoming the new king of 
electricity markets, ascending thanks to its constantly improving competitiveness.
Even faster deployment is possible from 2022 onward, hinging on new policies in & , and rooftop solar developments.

Wind power generation is forecast to grow by 80% in the next 5 years, driven by , &
The annual offshore wind market is set to more than double by 2025 thanks to rapid cost declines, with expansion shifting to Asia and the US.

In 2025, renewables are set to become the 's largest source of electricity generation, ending coal’s 5 decades at the top of the power mix
By then, renewables should supply a third of global electricity. Their total capacity will be twice the entire power capacity of today

Countries can accelerate renewables' growth by giving them a larger share of economic recovery spending, especially hard hit areas like biofuels.
In the US, the proposed clean electricity policies of the next administration could lead to much more rapid solar & wind deployment.
