The International Energy Agency (IEA) said that the volume of commissioning new capacities of renewable energy sources (RES) at the end of last year reached 540 GW, and 90% of this volume is expected to occur in developed countries and China. This was published on the newspaper’s website. “Kommersant”.
The publication notes that the commissioning volume of solar photovoltaic systems in China increased by 2.5 times last year. In the USA, this indicator is considered moderate. Analysts believe one of the reasons may be the US’s trade conflict with China.
Approximately 60% of the world’s new wind energy capacity came from China. Compared to 2022, China has doubled its input volume, the publication says.
Before that, First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Ilya Torosov statedIt is stated that Russia will increase its renewable energy capacity from 6 GW to 12 GW by 2030.
He noted that the share of green energy in Russia will increase from 37.8 percent in 2023 to 39.7 percent this year.
