Global Renewable Capacity Projection: Solar Leading the Charge
Key Ideas
- GlobalData forecasts global renewable capacity to reach 11.2 TW by 2035, with solar leading the growth trajectory.
- Solar energy is expected to account for a significant portion of the installed power, with cumulative PV capacity projected to exceed 2.8 TW by 2026.
- The growth in renewables deployment is attributed to declining costs, strong policy support, and the emergence of hydrogen energy and artificial intelligence in the energy sector.
- Despite challenges like tariffs and policy restrictions, the commitment to reducing carbon emissions globally will continue to drive investment in renewable energy solutions.
The consultancy firm GlobalData, based in London, projects a substantial increase in global renewable capacity, with a focus on solar energy. By 2035, the world is anticipated to have 11.2 TW of renewable capacity, driven by declining costs and favorable policies. Solar power is set to lead this growth, with an expected cumulative PV capacity of over 2.8 TW by 2026. GlobalData highlights the pivotal role of energy transition strategies, hydrogen energy, and artificial intelligence in propelling market growth. Despite challenges such as tariffs and policy restrictions, the commitment to reducing carbon emissions is expected to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy solutions worldwide.
