Share

In 2024, renewables and nuclear provided 40.9% of global power generation, marking the first time this has surpassed 40% since the 1940s, according to a new report by Ember. Solar power was the largest contributor, adding 474 terawatt hours and accounting for 6.9% of total electricity generation in 2024.

Ember’s report emphasized that clean generation growth is expected to outpace rising demand, leading to a decline in fossil fuel generation. China and India led the increase in solar generation, with China meeting 81% of its demand growth through clean generation in 2024, as noted in Ember’s report.
