  • Wind and solar power generation grew significantly in 2021, with solar increasing by 23% and wind by 14%. Together, they provided 10.3% of global electricity, up from 9.3% in 2020 and 4.6% in 2015. Total clean electricity accounted for 38% of global power in 2021, surpassing coal's share of 36%.
  • Global electricity demand saw its highest absolute increase ever between 2020 and 2021, rising by 1,414 TWh (a 5.4% increase). This growth was most prominent in Asia, specifically in China, where 2021 demand rose 13% compared to 2019 levels.
  • Coal power generation reached a record high of 10,042 TWh in 2021, a 9.0% increase. This growth was driven largely by Asia, with increases in China (+9%), India (+11%), Indonesia, Kazakhstan (+6%), Mongolia (+13%), Pakistan (+8%), and the Philippines (+8%). China's share of global coal power rose from 50% in 2019 to 54% in 2021.
  • Electricity sector CO2 emissions increased by 7% in 2021 to 778 million tonnes, marking the largest percentage increase since 2010 and the largest absolute increase ever recorded.
  • To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, wind and solar energy must maintain an annual growth rate of 20% until 2030, which aligns with their average growth over the last decade.
