2024年全球清洁电力占比首超40%

Core Insights - In 2024, global clean electricity share is projected to exceed 40% for the first time, reaching 40.9%, marking the highest level since the 1940s, driven by renewable energy sources, particularly solar power [1][2] - The report indicates that clean electricity share increased from 39.4% in 2023 to 40.9% in 2024, with solar energy generation doubling over the past three years [1] - Solar power generation is expected to reach a new record in 2024, increasing from 5.6% in 2023 to 6.9%, representing a growth of 29% [1] Renewable Energy Contributions - Hydropower remains the largest clean energy source, accounting for 14.3%, followed by nuclear energy (9%), wind energy (8.1%), and solar energy (6.9%) [2] - Other renewable sources, including bioenergy and geothermal energy, contribute 2.6% to global electricity [2] Future Trends - The report highlights two major trends shaping the future of the global electricity system: continued exponential growth of solar power and strong electricity demand driven by the replacement of other energy sources [2] - The increase in electricity demand is attributed to frequent heatwaves, leading to a slight rise in fossil fuel generation and record-high emissions from the electricity sector [2]
