Serbia’s installed capacity stood at 8 GW at the end of 2020, with 52% of coal and 39% of hydro.

The renewable optimists, however, have long insisted that improved battery storage technology is right around the corner and will solve all renewable scalability issues.

Together, every one of these solutions will contribute to what’s being called the smart grid of the future.

As part of its National Energy and Climate Plan (2020), France set its 2030 target for renewables at 33% of the final energy consumption.

In 2013, Chile approved a new legal target of 20% by 2025 for the share of non-conventional renewables in the power mix (23% in 2020).

Filipino households pay on average $0.189 (PHP9.5) per kilowatt-hour—the highest rate in Southeast Asia by far.

Reaching 50% renewables by the end of this decade would still remain well short of President Biden's call for 80% clean power by 2030 (assuming "clean" means "renewable" and does not include nuclear power or fossil fuels with carbon capture).

The Indonesian state-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina plans to invest US$12bn to add 10 GW of "clean" power capacity by 2026, including 6 GW of gas-fired power plants, 3 GW of renewables such as geothermal and 1 GW from other projects like “blue” and “green” hydrogen.

Electrical generation by renewable energy sources (i.e., biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, wind) set a new record in April 2021 and accounted for 25.7% of total US production.

The UK’s Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Kwasi Kwarteng, and Norway’s Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Tina Bru, issued a joint statement during Kwarteng's visit to Oslo for their first in-person meeting.
