Clean energy keeps gaining ground.

In 2024, solar, wind, and hydro now make up over 30% of global electricity. Solar’s growing fast, thanks to lower costs and better tech.

A big step forward — but still a long way to go for a fully decarbonised grid.

The astonishing rise of solar:

📈In 2000 1 GW of solar was installed globally. In 2024 it was around 2,000 GW.

📉Over same period prices dropped from $130/W to around $0.2/W in 2024.
