FOREWORD
generation capacity in 2023.
By the end of 2023 renewables accounted for 43% of global installed power capacity. Yet as we drawgeneration - including in the context of grid flexibility and adaptation to variable renewable power.
(GW) of renewables - expanding the stock of renewable power by 13.9%. Renewables accounted for apower alone accounted for nearly three-quarters of renewable addlitions with a record 346 GW while116 GW of wind energy was added.
Despite these unprecedlented renewable additions in 2023 the world is still falling short of what isto reach 11 TW. With one less year to meet the goal the world now needs additions of some 1 050 GWeach year for the rest of this decadle to keep the world on a 1.5°C pathway in accordlance with the WorldEnergy TransitionsOutlook 1.5°CScenario.
Looking ahead we hope to see a much faster pace of growth in the stock of renewable power plantsand distributed electricity generation around the world.
the work that lies ahead to achieve a just inclusive and sustainable future for all. jo apan e se osle nq ssaod ye o anos aqenje e se uo you aas pinous odau s
