For the first time, the growth in China''s clean power generation has caused the nation''s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.
The levelised cost of electricity produced from most forms of renewable power continued to fall year-on-year in 2023, with solar PV leading the cost reductions, followed by offshore wind.
Total generation from renewables is overtaking coal, in line with previous IEA forecasts. With solar PV generating record amounts of electricity, renewable
Solar panels generate free, renewable energy throughout their 25 to 30-year lifespan, meaning every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar you use to power your home is one less unit you
