For the first time ever, renewable energy accounted for over 30% of the world’s electricity (mainly wind and solar power), based on newly released figures.
As the demand for cleaner electricity increases, renewable supply has grown rapidly. The Guardian reported that solar was the main supplier of electricity growth, more than twice as much new electricity as coal last year.

The newest aim, based on last year’s new figures, is to hit 60% renewable electricity usage by 2030; agreed at the Cop28 Climate Conference.
