Renewable Capacity by Country
Renewable energy capacity is an important indicator of the global transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy systems. Countries are increasingly investing in renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, hydropower, bioenergy, and geothermal energy, to diversify electricity supplies, strengthen energy security, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Installed renewable capacity represents the rated power output of renewable energy infrastructure, typically measured in megawatts (MW) or gigawatts (GW).
The Renewable Capacity by Country dataset provides insights into the geographical distribution of installed renewable electricity capacity worldwide. It enables comparisons between countries, highlights differences in renewable energy infrastructure, and helps identify major renewable energy markets. Variations in installed capacity are influenced by factors such as natural resource availability, electricity demand, government policies, technological advancements, and investment in clean energy infrastructure.
Based on data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), this dataset supports the analysis of global renewable energy development and capacity trends. The accompanying visualizations help researchers, policymakers, investors, and businesses explore country-level comparisons, assess renewable energy expansion, and better understand the evolving global energy landscape.
