Over the last five years fossil fuels have met only half of the new demand for energy globally, despite a rapid buildout of renewable capacity, according to DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook. The report finds that between 2017-2022 renewables met 51% of new energy demand, whilst the remaining demand was supplied by fossil fuels.

Govt of Rajasthan has notified Renewable Energy Policy, 2023 to promote renewable energy and its integration with grid. The policy aims to achieve 90 GW of renewable energy projects by 2029-30, with 65 GW from solar, 15 GW from wind and wind-solar hybrids, and 10 GW from hydropower, pumped storage, and battery energy storage.

The Status of Wind in Africa report, which provides a stocktake of the wind industry in Africa and delivers a forecast of the continent’s wind energy pipeline. The Status Report provides the foundation for policy discussions and project development to build on and drive the region’s wind development forward through the rest of this decade.

The objective of this report is to examine the progress made by Asia-Pacific countries towards achieving SDG 7 in the decade of action on the SDGs.

This study highlights the urgent need for India to rapidly scale up its solar energy capacity to achieve its renewable energy targets. This finding emphasizes the critical role solar power plays in India’s transition to clean and sustainable energy.

This report builds a compelling case for India to look beyond land and institute an ecosystem that supports the installation and operationalization of floating solar photovoltaics (FSPV) power plants. Since these plants are installed on the underutilized surfaces of large water bodies, no land needs to be diverted from other uses.

Andhra Pradesh has introduced a new draft regulation aimed at facilitating open access to electricity generated from renewable energy sources within the state. The regulation is set to come into force upon approval by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) and promises to revolutionize the state’s energy landscape.

Worldwide employment in renewable energy reached 13.7 million in 2022, an increase of one million since 2021 and up from a total of 7.3 million in 2012, according to this new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).

This latest edition of the IRENA Leveraging local capacity series explores the dynamic world of small-scale hydropower, offering insights into how this renewable energy source can be harnessed to spur economic growth and job creation, and enhance the well-being of communities.
