Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsThe past year 2024, despite serious turbulence in the energy markets, was very successful for global photovoltaics. Suffice it to say that the share of photovoltaics in global electricity generation has increased to almost 7%. Just two years ago, photovoltaics crossed an important milestone when the world's cumulative solar PV capacity exceeded 1000 GW. At the end...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesAs the results of 2024 have shown, solar energy continues to confidently move towards new records. Of course, first, this applies to the production of electricity through photovoltaics. According to research by the analytical agency Ember, 2130.5 TWh of electricity were generated from all solar sources last year, which is almost 28.6% more than last year. The...
Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsIRENA published renewable power generation capacity statistics for the 2024 and for the past decade. The world's renewable power capacity reached 4,448 GW by the end of 2024. In comparison, the figure stood at 1,851 GW in 2015, indicating that over the past decade, renewable capacity has increased by 140%. In 2024, for 42% of the global total, for the largest share,...
Aenert news. Energy TrendsThe development of renewable energy is a crucial step in addressing climate change and ensuring sustainable economic growth, creating new jobs and developing energy security. IRENA's LEVERAGING LOCAL CAPACITY series examines concentrated solar power (CSP) technology, which, although not yet widespread, is potentially an important player in the renewable energy...
Aenert news. Technological innovationsLast year, solar energy technologies continued their rapid development. Of course, this primarily applies to photovoltaic technologies. According to statistics from various sources, in 2024, approximately 2,000 TWh of electricity will be produced through photovoltaic generation, and the share of photovoltaics in the total generation volume will approach or even...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe third quarter of each year is the time of greatest demand for electricity and the best time for solar energy. According to the analytical agency Ember, global electricity demand in 2024Q3 reached approximately 7940 TWh, which is 3.5% more year-on-year. This is an absolute quarterly record for electricity consumption in the world. During the same time, according...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe second quarter of each year is a good time for solar power, when generation in the most populated northern hemisphere increases sharply after short, cloudy winter days. According to our calculations from the Ember analytical center database, global electricity demand in 2024Q2 was approximately 7,095 TWh, which is 4.5% more than in the same period last year. The...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesSolar energy is increasingly taking a leading position in new electricity generation. For example, it is expected that in the United States, 60% of newly built electricity production capacity in 2024 will be provided by solar installations. By the end of the last year, global PV solar capacity reached nearly 1.5 TW. Over the last decade, cumulative global capacity...
Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsAccording to the recently published Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024 Report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), a new world record for renewable energy in the electricity sector was set in 2023 – with the addition of 473 gigawatts (GW) of renewables (+13.9%) their total global capacity reached about 3,870 GW. For several years in a row, Asia has...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe end of 2023 was marked by an unpleasant surprise for the photovoltaics industry, although the prerequisites for this had existed before. After the relative prosperity of the previous few years, a financial storm struck in 2023Q4, sending many companies into crisis. Something similar has happened in the last two years in the wind energy industry, which we have...
