The energy transition refers to the evolution of energy sources towards renewables like wind and solar. Although this is a significant aspect, there's more to it than just that. Read More
Actual reported data for 2024 is available to July with the exception for the US where the last reported datapoint is June. Data for some national sources including China have been converted from GW (AC) to GW (DC). While China is leading the world in solar capacity additions and absolute generation, the solar surge is happening around the world.
This means 1 MW of grid battery would be installed for every 6 MW of renewables installed from 2024 to 2030. Prices are collapsing, prompted by a surge in manufacturing capacity and simpler chemistry. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries do not use cobalt and nickel, and in 2023 already accounted for 80% of batteries used in grid storage.
Solar superpowers are emerging all around the world, not just major players like China, but places like Chile and Rajasthan are showing how to rapidly reach high solar shares. Clean flexibility tools like storage and grids will unlock the full potential of solar, and the tumbling cost of batteries reveals the huge opportunity ahead.
As of August, Rajasthan had already added 5.3 GW of solar capacity in 2024, enough to power 6.7 million additional homes. Ember’s data shows that Rajasthan also set an India-wide record for absolute solar generation in May when solar produced 4,511 GWh of electricity.
The record surge in installations at the very end of 2023 means that 2024 is set for an even larger increase in solar generation. Drought conditions resulted in a record fall in hydropower generation, which dropped to a five-year low.

Solar power is generated in two main ways: Solar photovoltaic (PV) uses electronic devices, also called solar cells, to convert sunlight directly into electricity. It is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies and is playing an increasingly important …
But considering the lower capacity factors of solar (20%) and onshore wind (31%) sources, other high-generating non-renewable sources like existing conventional coal power plants (57.5-68.5%) need to be maximized, while natural gas (44.2-64.2%) and nuclear (93.1%) capacities are explored as other viable options.

In the entire month of June 2024, solar generated 8.1% of global electricity, compared to 6.7% in June 2023. Dotted line represents estimates for the rest of 2024. Monthly capacity additions are estimated from national reporting on installed solar capacity.
The energy transition is about shifting to renewable sources of energy and more. Energy transition services include energy optimization, electrification, energy storage, creating distributed energy resources, and alternative fuel development.
Solar is leading the energy revolution, adding more than twice as much new electricity as coal in 2023. It was the fastest-growing source of electricity generation for the 19th year in a row. 2023 was the second consecutive year in which global growth in solar generation (+307 TWh, +23%) outpaced wind (+206 TWh, +9.8%). Solar reached a 5.5% ...
