This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources each year. Renewables accounted for 28% of electric generation in 2021, consisting of hydro (55%), wind (23%), biomass (13%), solar (7%) and geothermal (1%).
In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many countries are expected to minimize their dependence on fossil fuels and expand their capacity for new renewable installations. There are five major sources of renewable energy; solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, biomass, and hydropower.

G20 countries account for almost 90% of global renewable power capacity today. In the accelerated case, which assumes enhanced implementation of existing policies and targets, the G20 could triple their collective installed capacity by 2030.
But how rapidly is our production of renewable energy changing? What technologies look most promising in transforming our energy mix? In this article we look at the data on renewable energy technologies across the world; what share of energy they account for today, and how quickly this is changing. Renewable energy generation
Drawing from case studies of countries, regions, cities and islands moving towards 100% renewables in different end-uses, this white paper offers lessons learned for defining renewable energy targets and developing implementation frameworks for a 100% renewable future.
Clean electricity underpins almost all efforts to shift towards a decarbonized future. In 2017, the global average carbon intensity of electricity was 450 gCO2/kWh. Of the 16 major countries below that average, the United Kingdom showed the fastest transition to decarbonization.
