In 2022, India added:
☀️ 13.9 GW of solar capacity
🌪️ 1.8 GW of wind capacity

In total, the country added 15.7 GW of new capacity, 17% above additions in 2021. This is comparable to the UK’s entire solar fleet as of 2021.

Rajasthan & Gujarat are the top two states, adding the most renewable capacity in 2022.

⚡ Rajasthan added 6.7 GW of solar & wind
⚡ Gujarat added 3.1 GW of solar & wind

This is expected to continue growing, given their ambitious 2030 targets.

🇮🇳 The significant growth of India's renewable capacity additions in 2022 sets the stage for the country to assume climate leadership as it presides over #G20.

BREAKING | #Wind & #Solar hit a record TENTH of global electricity in 2021.

But the global electricity transition needs to sustain high growth rates to replace coal & reduce emissions.

⚡️10 Tweet Thread of the Global Power Sector in 2021

[1/10] #GER22
ember-climate.org/insights/resea…
We analysed annual power generation data for 209 countries from 2000 to 2020, with 2021 data included for 75 countries representing 93% of global power demand.

What did we find? #Wind and #solar took off!

[2/10] #GER22
ember-climate.org/insights/resea…
50 countries have now crossed the 10% #wind and #solar landmark, with 7 new countries in 2021 hitting the milestone for the first time: 🇨🇳🇯🇵🇲🇳🇻🇳🇦🇷🇭🇺🇸🇻

⚡️ 10 Tweet Thread - Global Power Sector in 2020

What happened in 2020?
⏸️Pandemic paused electricity demand growth
⏩Wind and solar grew +315 TWh (+15%)
⏪Replacing coal generation -346 TWh (-4%)

[1/10] Ember's #GER21 Report
ember-climate.org/global-electri…
Growth in #wind and #solar helped drive global #coal power to a record fall of 4%.

Except in China. Despite impressive wind & solar growth, this didn’t keep up with electricity demand, so coal rose to fill the gap.

[2/10] #GER21
ember-climate.org/global-electri…
Almost a TENTH of global electricity in 2020 was supplied by wind turbines and solar panels.

Impressively, it has doubled since 2015, from 4.6% to 9.4%.

Most G20 countries are on the same journey, around the global average 🇮🇳🇨🇳🇯🇵🇧🇷🇺🇸🇹🇷

🇪🇺 10 Tweet Thread of the EU Power Sector in 2020

Key findings of our fifth annual report with @AgoraEW

1. Renewables overtook fossil fuels as the EU’s main source of electricity in 2020.

ember-climate.org/project/eu-pow…
2. Renewables generated 38% of Europe’s electricity in 2020, overtaking fossil fuels (37%). Nuclear power generated 25% of EU-27 electricity.

This green milestone was also reached in Spain and Germany in 2020.

EU Power Sector in 2020: ember-climate.org/project/eu-pow…
3. This transformation has been driven by rapid growth in #wind and #solar power generation, which have almost doubled since 2015 to deliver 1/5 of EU electricity in 2020.

In the last 30 days, Europe's electricity sector CO2 emissions have collapsed by 39%.

This is giving valuable lessons on how to run a fossil-free electricity grid.

What are these lessons?
THREAD: 1/11
2/11 The lights have stayed on! The electricity system is robust: no excuse to slow wind+solar investment.

That's despite a 42% fall in Europe's coal gen & 30% fall in gas gen (chart).

Read EU's security briefing: ec.europa.eu/info/news/focu…

@ENTSO_E's summer outlook out end-May
3/11 But record negative prices show there are supply/demand inflexibilities.

Common in Germany+Denmark+UK for a while, but now increasingly common in Belgium, Czechia, Finland, France, Ireland, Netherlands...
