A retreat from wind power could have devastating consequences, as it is set to play a pivotal role in global efforts to transition to green energy.

By the end of 2021, global renewable generation capacity amounted to 3 064 Gigawatt (GW), increasing the stock of renewable power by 9.1 per cent.

The renewable capacity (excluding large hydro) in India reached 100 GW in August 2021, i.e. just over half of the 2022 target (175 GW).

In October 2021, Sunseap signed an MoU to explore and develop solar power systems with a combined capacity of 7 GW around the Riau islands, including a previously announced 2.2 GW floating solar PV in Duriangkang, Batam.

By 2050, we’re expected to reach about 88 million tons of solar panel waste.

Agri-PV (or agrivoltaics) has emerged as a major trend in the solar industry and is poised to redefine the way solar PV projects are procured, designed, and built in many countries around the world.

A requirement to function through a 10-day period of low/no wind and solar and to recharge storage over the succeeding 10-day period, with a 20% capacity reserve margin, would require renewable generating capacity approximately 2.4 times peak demand on the grid.

The Brent price will average $108/b in 2Q22 and $102/b in the second half of 2022 (2H22).

Kyrgyzstan has 4.4 GW of installed capacity, with 3.7 GW of hydro (end-2020).

Based on data from the third quarter, analysts expect to see a record 19 gigawatts of utility-scale solar and about 4 gigawatts of distributed solar installed in the United States this year.

Nuclear's share of energy in the UK is currently about 16%, however almost half of the country's current capacity is due to be retired by 2025 and all but one of its reactors will retire by 2030.

According to the Turkiye Climate Change Perception Report, 79% of the participants see renewable energy as a good opportunity for economic development and 75% of them favor renewables for increasing the country's exports.

According to data compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for ‘Energy’ in February 2022 was 25.6% higher than in February 2021, which is more than triple the increase of the CPI for ‘All Items,’ which was 7.9% higher over the same period.

Renewable sources accounted for more than one-eighth (12.61%) of the U.S. energy produced and 12.49% of the energy consumed for electricity, transportation, heating, and other uses.

The committee said geothermal energy and nuclear energy have the potential to play a part in Singapore's future energy supply mix.
