🚨W/ renewable power generation growing by nearly 10% in 2024 — the fastest annual increase on record — #renewables accounted for 31.7% of total global electricity generation. To align with @IRENA's global #electrification roadmap, this share must rise to 78% by 2035, around 2.5 times today's level. ➡️ irena.org/News/pressrele…

#DYK? Annual renewable capacity additions have increased notably over the past 25 years, reaching an unprecedented peak of 693 GW in 2025. This positive trend in installed capacity confirms that renewable deployment continues to outpace fossil-fuel growth → irena.org/Publications/2…

Delighted to share @IRENA’s latest Renewable Energy Statistics 2026. Renewable electricity generation grew by 9.8% in 2024 — the fasted recorded growth ever. Renewables accounted for 31.7% of the electricity generation globally in 2024, find out more➡️ bit.ly/4pDvmx3

What is the difference between renewable power capacity and generation? Swipe through to find out. And look forward to @IRENA's latest data on #renewables capacity & generation—among others—today!

📈 Reliable data is essential to understanding the pace of the #energytransition. In this episode of "All Things Renewable", @IRENA experts share how renewable energy data is collected, what it tells about global progress, why it’s critical to track #renewables expansion, & identify urgent actions. 🎧 Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/5xEIaf…

Building on @IRENA's roadmap, the incoming #COP31 Presidency of Türkiye has announced a global #electrification target of 35% by 2035. To support this target, what share of global electricity should renewables provide by 2035?

Expanding renewable energy can help Chad🇹🇩 strengthen #energysecurity, improve electricity access & support sustainable economic development.

In Bugesera, Rwanda🇷🇼, women farmers are increasing production & improving produce quality with the help of a #solar-powered irrigation system. Their story demonstrates how renewable energy can support stronger livelihoods & contribute to #sustainabledevelopment. Read: bit.ly/3YzDsuu

#ICYMI📈the latest data are on progress towards #SDG7 are in: 🟠92% of the world had access to electricity 🟠75% to clean cooking 🟠int'l financial flows for developing countries’ #cleanenergy only rose slightly from 2023. Check 2026 edition of #TrackingSDG7 report for more findings: irena.org/Publications/2…

#ICYMI: latest #TrackingSDG7 data shows progress towards universal access to #SustainableEnergy is uneven & insufficient: poor countries saw lower renewable capacity/capita & lower financial support. See the report by @IRENA, @IEA @UNDESA @UNStats @WBG_Energy @WHO for more data: irena.org/Publications/2…

#DYK? In 2024, ¼ of the world’s population lacked access to #CleanCooking, risking their health & well-being. The biggest divide lies between urban & rural population. See the #TrackingSDG7 report for more: irena.org/Publications/2…

It is always a joy and privilege to meet @UN SG @AntonioGuterres. I thanked him for his tireless call to accelerate the shift towards renewables. We discussed priorities of the energy transition, from #SDG7 progress and electrification to high-level collaboration ahead of #COP31.

#RenewableEnergy capacity increased over 2x between 2015 & 2024, reaching a record 544 watts/capita. But large disparities persist between developing & developed countries. The latest #TrackingSDG7 report examines how to close the gap: irena.org/Publications/2…

In #Nigeria, building a more sustainable power system means improving reliability & expanding access at the same time. @IRENA's study highlights how hydropower modernisation, co-ordinated mini-grid development & other integrated solutions can strengthen #energysecurity, support local economies & deliver affordable, clean electricity to underserved communities.

655 mn people still live without electricity & progress towards #SDG7 2030 is stalling. Regions like sub-Saharan Africa are at risk of being left behind. Is 100% access to electricity by 2030 within reach? See #TrackingSDG7 report: irena.org/Publications/2…

As #electricity demand rises, Senegal🇸🇳 is advancing its #energytransition while seeking to ensure that the benefits reach communities across the country. @IRENA's brief highlights solutions that can strengthen grid reliability, expand productive uses of energy & support sustainable local development.
