Top 15 Wind and Solar Power Countries in 2020 | Ember
Vietnam has seen rapid growth in wind and solar went from 0 to 14 TWh in just 3 years, generating 5% of its electricity from wind and solar in 2020. Meanwhile, Chile and South Korea have quadrupled their wind and solar generation since 2015, and many other countries have tripled it, including Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Turkey and Uruguay.
And to hit that goal, wind and solar power need to grow at nearly a 20% clip each year to 2030. Despite the record rise in renewables, solar and wind electricity generation growth currently doesn''t meet the required marks to reach the Paris Agreement''s goals.
Here''s a snapshot of solar power capacity by country at the beginning of 2021: *1 megawatt = 1,000,000 watts. China is the undisputed leader in solar installations, with over 35% of global capacity. …

Many African countries receive on average a very high number of days per year of bright sunlight, especially the dry areas, which include the arid deserts (such as the Sahara) and the semi-desert steppes (such as the Sahel). This gives solar power the potential to bring energy to virtually any location in Africa without the need for expensive large-scale grid-level infrastructural developments. The distribution of solar resources across Africa is fairly uniform, with more than …
