World Hits Major Clean Energy Milestone: 30% of Electricity Now From Renewables!

Updated: Jun 8

The world has achieved a significant clean energy milestone! A new report shows that a record-breaking 30% of global electricity came from renewable sources like wind and solar last year. This is a major turning point, according to climate experts, who predict even steeper declines in fossil fuel reliance in the coming years.


This is great news for the fight against climate change. Reaching 60% renewable electricity by 2030 is crucial to meeting global climate goals, and this new data suggests we're on the right track.


Solar power is leading the charge, growing even faster than anticipated. The future of clean energy is here, and it's looking bright!



Here are some key takeaways:

  • Renewables made up less than 19% of the global energy mix in 2000. Today, that number is over 30%!

  • Including nuclear power, nearly 40% of the world's electricity comes from low-carbon sources.

  • Despite rising global pollution levels, the electricity sector's carbon intensity has hit a record low thanks to the boom in renewables.


Let's keep pushing for a clean energy future!
