An Ember report analyzing national renewable energy targets for 2030 finds that global ambition remains aligned with a doubling of capacity rather than the tripling goal set at COP28. Despite record deployment, aggregate targets have only increased by 8% since COP28, with significant gaps remaining in both solar and wind ambitions compared to the tripling scenario.

This report by Ember, developed for the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA), provides a comprehensive analysis of global offshore wind targets across national, subnational, and regional levels. It examines current ambitions, deployment projections for 2030, and the potential for expansion in countries without existing targets, while highlighting the gap between political ambitions and projected delivery.

India is generally on track to meet its National Electricity Plan (NEP) 2032 capacity mix, driven by record solar expansion and a strong pipeline of coal and pumped hydro projects. While solar, hydro, and coal are well-positioned, onshore wind requires significant acceleration, and nuclear capacity is likely to fall short of targets due to long lead times and a limited near-term pipeline.

This report by Ember analyzes national 2030 renewable capacity targets across 96 countries and the EU. It finds that despite the COP28 pledge to triple global renewable capacity by 2030, national targets have remained largely stagnant, collectively amounting to a doubling rather than a tripling of 2022 capacity levels.

This policy briefing by Ember argues that for the global goal of tripling renewable capacity agreed at COP28 to be met, G7 countries must collectively triple their own capacity from 0.9 TW in 2022 to 2.7 TW by 2030. The document highlights a 0.7 TW gap between current G7 targets and this tripling goal.
