Ember’s recent Global Electricity Review revealed that wind and solar produced 2,435 TWh of electricity in 2020, providing almost a tenth of the world’s electricity.
Wind and solar have doubled since 2015, when they generated 5% (1083 TWh) of the world’s electricity.
Some countries are generating significantly more electricity from wind and solar. The global leaders are Denmark and Uruguay, which generated 61% and 44% of their electricity from wind and solar in 2020.
Many countries across Europe generate around a third to a quarter of their electricity from wind and solar: Ireland (35%), Germany (33%), United Kingdom (29%), Spain (29%), Greece (27%) and Portugal (26%).
The majority of the top 15 wind and solar countries are in Europe, but the list also features Australia and South American countries Uruguay and Chile - link - more like this - link
