Turkey aims to produce 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2023 (up from 44% in 2019). Solar accounts for around 7% of Turkey’s installed capacity, with 6 GW at the end of 2019.

Iraq's oil minister and a Total delegation also discussed potential development of solar power projects in the country's central and southern provinces. The two sides also discussed Total's potential support and financing of oil infrastructure projects.

Vietnam will need about US$320bn to develop its power sector in 2021-2045,

The South Australia government has given planning approval for the massive $3 billion Goyder South wind, solar and battery storage project

By 2024, the renewable capacity is expected to more than double from 1.8 GW to 4.3 GW (+139%).

This 2.1 GW programme is part of South Korea's strategy to become carbon neutral by 2050.

State Grid expects wind and solar installed capacity to hit 1,000 GW by 2030

That brings the total shortfall to nearly $2.5 billion, according to a market notice.

"The entire energy sector failed Texas," said NRG Energy Inc Chief Executive Mauricio Gutierrez, who testified.

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) projects that solar and wind will form 51% of India’s total installed capacity, or 420GW, by 2030, with biomass and small hydro adding another 30GW, while the IEA’s India Energy Outlook 2021 says that India could add 900GW of renewable capacity by 2040.

France’s installed renewable capacity, including hydropower, increased by more than 2 GW in 2020

"At the end of the day our customers want reliable energy. For us natural gas is the complement to renewable energy — there is no way to think of a reliable system without having a flexible way to produce electricity. Gas is offering this flexibility,"

Fossil fuels are expected to dominate the primary energy mix thru 2040, even in scenarios where countries meet the Paris Agreement’s climate goals.

In addition, South African authorities intend to ease licensing requirements for new embedded generation projects, which could unlock up to 5,000 MW of additional capacity.

Combined, they accounted for or 22,451 megawatts (MW) or more than three-quarters (78.09%) of the 28,751 MW of new utility-scale capacity reported to have been added last year. Wind (13,626 MW) and solar (8,543 MW) each contributed more new generating capacity than did natural gas (6,259 MW).
