"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.

The US offshore wind market is expected to grow several-fold increase in capacity, from 2020 levels of (42 MW) to estimated ~28 GW by 2030

The offshore wind industry installed just over 6 GW of new capacity globally in 2020, nearly the same levels as the previous year.

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).

“[T]hese investments will create jobs and growth. Every new offshore wind turbine generates EUR 15 million of economic activity. We expect the 77,000 people working in offshore wind today in Europe to be 200,000 by 2030,” Dickson said.

the share of renewables in the U.S. electricity generation mix will increase from 21% in 2020 to 42% in 2050.

The evolution to a more digital and carbon-free grid and industry will continue.

Wind-powered electricity has increased in the United States as more wind turbines have been installed in recent years.

Northern Indiana Public Service Co LLC (NIPSCO), a subsidiary of NiSource Inc (NYSE:NI), on Monday announced the completion of two wind parks in Indiana with a combined capacity of 502 MW.

The GBP-6.5-billion (USD 8.8bn/EUR 7.3bn) mega-project, with its three separate wind farms in the plans, would use over 200 units of the Siemens Gamesa 14-MW turbines.
