Renewables Capacity by Country

Renewables capacity by country measures the installed capacity of renewable power plants in each country, in gigawatts (GW). It combines hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and other renewable sources. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 213 countries, with 209 reported 2024 values, and includes data from 2019 to 2024. The world total reached 4,421.96 GW in 2024, up from 3,830.57 GW in 2023.

Renewables Capacity by Country Map

China (1,818.26 GW) accounted for more than 40% of global renewable capacity in 2024, about four times the United States (451.22 GW). Brazil (213.84 GW), India (204.11 GW) and Germany (177.92 GW) completed the top five.

China accounted for about 41.1% of the world total in 2024. The top two together held about 51.3%, the top three about 56.2%, the top five about 64.8%, and the top ten about 75.3%.

China added more renewable capacity than any other country

China added 364.56 GW in 2024, increasing its renewable capacity by 25.1%. That single-year addition was equivalent to about 62% of the 591.39 GW increase in the world total. India grew by 16.5%, the United States by 13.0%, Germany by 11.7% and Brazil by 10.0%. Ukraine was the largest decliner among reported country pairs, losing 2.94 GW, or 19.9%.

Renewable capacity has grown rapidly since 2019

The world total increased every year in the series, from 2,504.25 GW in 2019 to 4,421.96 GW in 2024. That is a 76.6% increase in six years. China more than doubled its capacity over the same period, rising from 758.87 GW to 1,818.26 GW. The United States also grew substantially, from 262.30 GW to 451.22 GW, while Brazil increased from 144.57 GW to 213.84 GW.

More capacity does not mean more electricity at the same rate

Installed capacity describes the power available from renewable facilities, not the amount of electricity they actually generate. Solar and wind plants, for example, produce electricity only when resource conditions allow, while hydropower output can vary with water availability. As a result, two countries with similar renewable capacity can generate very different amounts of electricity in a given year. Capacity is therefore best read as a measure of the scale of the installed renewable power base, rather than as a direct measure of electricity production.

Renewables are closing the capacity gap with fossil fuels

Renewable capacity reached 4,421.96 GW in 2024, compared with 4,757.08 GW of fossil-fuel capacity. The difference was only 335.12 GW, whereas the gap was about 1,905 GW in 2019. China accounted for 41.1% of global renewable capacity, compared with 30.4% of global fossil-fuel capacity. China therefore has the largest installed capacity in both categories, with a particularly large share of global renewable capacity.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values represent annual installed renewable capacity in gigawatts (GW). Where no value is available, the cell is left empty. A value of 0 indicates that the source reports zero. The sum of the countries listed on this page may not equal the reported world total because the country-level data presented here do not necessarily represent the complete set of values used for the world total. This page covers renewable capacity only; other sources and generation are reported separately in the source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries have the most renewables capacity?

China (1,818.26 GW) and the United States (451.22 GW) reported the largest 2024 values, followed by Brazil (213.84 GW), India (204.11 GW) and Germany (177.92 GW).

How much did world renewable capacity increase in 2024?

World renewable capacity increased by 591.39 GW, or about 15.4%, from 2023 to 2024. China accounted for about 62% of that increase, adding 364.56 GW.

Is renewable capacity catching up with fossil-fuel capacity?

Nearly: 4,421.96 GW of renewables against 4,757.08 GW of fossil capacity in 2024, a gap of 335.12 GW. In 2019 the gap was far wider.

How should empty cells be read?

Empty means no reported value in the source. It is different from 0, which means the source reports zero.
