2 IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy, in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity.

We have entered the decade of renewable energy capacity additions in 2020 reflect unprecedented momentum for the energy transition. Despite the COVID-19 induced economic slowdown, the world added more than 260 gigawatts (GW) of renewables last year, exceeding expansion in 2019 by close to 50 per , around 80 per cent of all new electricity capacity was renewable, showing that it is increasingly the preferred source of new power generation globally.

5 Solar and wind in particular have shown remarkable growth, with 127 GW and 111 GW of new installations last year, respectively. Together, they now make up more than 50 per cent of total installed renewables latest edition of Renewable Capacity Statistics comes as we grapple with the most effective way to rebuild our economies while pursuing the medium and long-term goals of the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. Energy is the cornerstone of this future, and while the direction of travel is clear a much faster energy transition is required. As outlined in the World Energy Transitions Outlook preview, renewable energy deployment levels should accelerate to align the energy system with a Paris compliant case for an accelerated transition is increasingly attractive.

6 Costs are falling, clean tech markets are growing and never before have the benefits of the energy transition been so clear. Amid the challenges and uncertainty of 2020, these numbers tell a remarkble story of resilience and hope for a better, more equitable, clean and just this critical decade of action, the international community must look to the momentum reflected in this report as a source of inspiration to go La CameraDirector-General, International Renewable Energy Agency TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE DES MATI RES TABLA DE CONTENIDOS Total capacity - Total capacit - Total capacidad Total renewable energy Total nergies renouvelables 2 Total energ as renovables Hydropower Hydro lectricit 5 Hidroel ctrica Renewable hydropower (including mixed plants)

9 For most countries and technologies, the data reflects the capacity installed and connected at the end of the calendar year. The data is presented in megawatts (MW) rounded to the nearest one megawatt, with figures between zero and shown as a 0. Data has been obtained from a variety of sources, including: the IRENA questionnaire; official statistics; industry association reports; and other reports and news articles. Numbers followed by the letter o are figures that have been obtained from official sources such as national statistical offices, government departments, regulators and power companies. The letter u follows figures that have been obtained from unofficial sources, such as industry associations and news articles.

10 The letter e follows figures that have been estimated by IRENA from a variety of different data sources. All data from the IRENA questionnaire is presented without any indicator. Data are available for download at NOTES PROPOS DES TABLEAUX Les donn es sur les capacit s lectriques renouvelables pr sent es dans ces tableaux repr sentent la capacit maximale nette de g n ration des centrales lectriques et autres installations utilisant des sources d' nergie renouvelables pour produire de l' lectricit .
