The global renewable energy capacity increased by 14 percent in 2024 and reached 14.3 gigavat, while the capacity -sized Asian countries came to the fore.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) data, the capacity increase in 2024 was supported by rapid developments especially in Asia and Africa.
While Asia dominated a large part of the total capacity, it was seen that investments in renewable energy in Africa also fruits.
Out -of -net renewable energy capacity, which has started to play a critical role with targets such as increasing electricity access in rural areas, especially in rural areas, has grown by 13.9 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year.
Global renewable energy capacity reached 14.3 gigavat in 2024.
Asia is the leading position of capacity
In 2024, Asia was far leading with 11.5 gigavats with a renewable energy capacity of off -network. While this region meets about 80 percent of the global capacity alone, the installed capacity of India and Indonesia attracted attention. Asia followed Africa with a capacity of 1.3 gigavat. Nigeria, Kenya and Sudan on the continent were among the prominent countries.
These continents were followed by South America with 704.7 megawatts, Middle East with 335 megawatts, Central America and the Caribbean with 192.7 megawatts, and Oceania with 174.7 megawatts.
In Asia, India was located at the top of the list with 4.6 gigavat capacity at the top of the list among the prominent countries in non -network renewable energy capacity.
Out -of -net renewable energy systems play a critical role to meet the electricity needs in areas that do not have access to the central electricity network or are limited.
