/LONDON, September 16, 2021, 9:30 BST, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ The UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy aims to provide transformational action on the energy-related goals of the 2030 Agenda and support the implementation of the Paris Agreement. The world has less than nine years to achieve the goal of ensuring clean energy for all, and we are falling behind. Transformational energy transitions require dramatically upscaling renewable energy and energy efficiency and equally downscaling and phasing out coal and other fossil fuels while innovating for the future, to arrive at the global…

/30th June 2021, IRENA, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ Between 2000 and 2020, renewable power generation capacity worldwide increased 3.7‑fold, from 754 gigawatts (GW) to 2 799 GW, as their costs have fallen sharply, driven by steadily improving technologies, economies of scale, competitive supply chains and improving the developer experience. Costs for electricity from utility-scale solar photovoltaics (PV) fell 85% between 2010 and 2020. Renewables are becoming more and more competitive in the energy landscape. The data from the IRENA Renewable Cost Database shows cost declines continued in 2020, with the cost of electricity…

/7th December 2020, Brussels/ Corporate Cumulative PPA capacities in Europe: So far, Europe has seen a cumulative 11.1 gigawatt (GW) of contracted renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) by volume. That’s a significant increase compared to the 2.2 GW of cumulative PPA capacity in 2016. There is an increasing trend in PPAs signed in Europe annually (s. Figure 1) with a total of 145 PPAs signed in Europe to date. The demand for renewable energies spans across Europe with PPAs signed in as much as 13 different countries: Italy, Poland, France,…

/7th December 2020, Brussels/ Corporate renewable electricity sourcing in Europe has shown continuous growth despite the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating the resilience and potential of Europe’s renewable energy sector. In November 2020, the cumulative contracted volume of corporate renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Europe reached the 11 GW mark, up from just 2.2 GW by the end of 2016 and with a record 3 GW contracted in 2020 alone. This shows that more and more companies are stepping up to the challenge of reducing carbon emissions with renewable electricity, in line…
