Achieving the ambition of the Paris Agreement depends on dramatically and rapidly scaling the deployment of renewable energy. In a report about credible pathways to achieving this goal released in 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA) concluded that renewable energy capacity additions must triple from 2022 levels by 2030.In short, that means installing over 1,200 gigawatts annually by the end of the decade. To put that number in context, consider that the total electricity generation capacity in the United States (US) from all fuel types at the end of 2022 was 1,200 gigawatts. The focus on enhancing renewable capacity is pivotal, not only for meeting climate targets but also for complementing the existing energy mix, where traditional energy sources continue to play a significant role in ensuring stability and reliability in energy supply.
