For the first time in the world, 50 countries produced 10% of their electricity needs from solar and wind.

While energy generation from renewable sources is gaining more importance day by day, a new report published shows that at least 50 countries get more than 10% of their electricity needs from wind and solar energy. showed. That means a world record.

Coal power generation has also increased

A report by independent energy think tank Ember provides insights into the state of renewable energy globally. The report shows that while there were 43 countries producing at least 10% of their energy needs from solar and wind in 2020, this number increased to 50 in 2021.

Also, the report states that clean electricity sources will account for 38% of the world’s electricity in 2021. Renewables outperform coal power generation at 36% last year.

In 2021, the number of countries supplying more than 25% of their electricity needs from renewable sources reached 10, including Denmark (52%), Uruguay (47%) and Luxembourg (43%).

From renewable sources Energy production rates are increasing and are becoming more common day by day, but the rate of power generation from coal increased by 9% in 2021 compared to the previous year. The energy produced by wind and solar energy alone amounted to 29% compared to the total global need last year.
