The auction for large renewable projects (>1 MW), with 3,897 MW of capacity available, attracted 108 bids totalling 1,352 MW and only 84 bids totalling 1,093 MW were admitted (28% of the available capacity).

This duplication of generating capacity increases electricity infrastructure investment, thus increasing required return on investment and consumer electric rates.

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said that when taking all solar and wind generation in account, the country added a whopping 101 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in 2021.

Enel Green Power (EGP) added 5,120 MW of new renewable power capacity in 2021 (+65% compared to 2020), including 220 MW of battery capacity.

Under the two agreements, the three groups will explore key areas of collaboration on Ørsted’s Incheon offshore wind project, contributing to the growth of offshore wind power in South Korea

Brazil's electricity demand increased by 4.1% in 2021 to an average of 64.7 GW, according to Cámara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica (CCEE).

China's raw coal production increased by 4.7% to 4.07 Gt in 2021 and imports grew by 6.6% to 320 Mt,

Indonesia was expected to reach a 14.5% target of renewables in its energy mix by 2021

Crown Estate Scotland (United Kingdom) has selected 17 offshore wind projects totalling 24,826 MW as part of its application process for ScotWind Leasing,

The country aims to instal 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030.

The Spanish energy group Iberdrola has reached an agreement with the Philippine wind developer Triconti ECC Renewables and Switzerland's Stream Invest Holding to develop five offshore wind projects in the Philippines with a total capacity of 3.5 GW.

Renewables accounted for 59% of Portugal's power consumption in 2021

In 2022, we expect 46.1 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric generating capacity to be added to the U.S. power grid,

The share of renewables in the power mix declined from 48% in 2020 to less than 43% in 2021, with 23% of wind, 9% of solar and 11% of biomass, hydropower and other renewables.

Overall, renewables accounted for nearly 47% of the country's power generation in 2021 (compared to 44% in 2020), with 23% of wind, 11% of hydro and 10% of solar.
