A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) showed that global renewable energy capacity surged by a record high 50 percent to 510 gigawatts (GW) in 2023, with solar power accounting for 75 percent of new capacities worldwide.

This massive acceleration makes it possible for renewable energy in the world to expand to 7,300 GW by 2029, IEA said.
