What percentage of global energy comes from renewables?
In 2023, renewables provided about 30% of global electricity generation, up from 22% in 2015. Solar and wind are now the cheapest sources of new electricity in most countries. However, electricity is only about 20% of all energy use — heating, transport, and industry make up the rest.
