Wind and Solar Reached a Record 12% Of Global Electricity in 2022

Wind and solar help reduce emissions intensity of electricity. Record growth in wind and solar pushed electricity to its cleanest level ever: 436 gCO2/kWh. Solar added a record 245 TWh of generation in 2022, while wind added a record 312 TWh. As a result, 12% of the world''s electricity came from solar and wind. That''s up from a tenth of

Solar energy

If you take an extreme case of a location around the Arctic Circle, for example, Iceland (which lies between the latitudes of 63 degrees and 66.5 degrees north) the amounts of solar electricity you could generate around the December solstice would be effectively zero. However, Iceland is of course blessed with a plentiful supply of geothermal energy.
