Fossil fuels are regarded as the largest contributor to global climate change, responsible for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions (United Nations 2023a).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renewables can provide energy security and resilience by limiting the geopolitical risks of fossil fuels supply. At the same time, due to technological development and falling prices of relevant technologies, renewable energy can enable a more inclusive, fair, and climate-safe global economy. (IRENA 2022, 5.) According to United Nations, the price of renewables is more affordable in most countries and generate three times more jobs in comparison with fossil fuels. Between 2010 and 2020, the electricity cost from renewables rapidly decreased; by 85% in case of solar power, by 56% for onshore and 48% for offshore wind energy.

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and her Renewable Capacity Statistics 2023 report, nearly 295GW new installed renewable power capacity was added globally, out of which 192 GW solar and 75 GW wind energy additions (Table 1). (Irena 2023a, Foreword)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last decade, the installation of renewables increased by 130%, in comparison with non-renewables with a slow progress of 24% only. Although the deployment of renewables is accelerating in the world, the installation progress must speed up three time more in order to meet the Paris Agreement. (IRENA 2022, 42.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In average, 1000GW of new renewables capacity needs to be added annually in the world by 2030. As the main structural hindrances are seen the missing infrastructure, enabling policies and regulations, and skills and capacities. (IRENA 2023b.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/08\/517_2023_Focusing-on-Renewables_Table1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/08\/517_2023_Focusing-on-Renewables_Table1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/08\/517_2023_Focusing-on-Renewables_Table1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/08\/517_2023_Focusing-on-Renewables_Table1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/08\/517_2023_Focusing-on-Renewables_Table1-570x285.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/08\/517_2023_Focusing-on-Renewables_Table1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Table 1.

Wind and solar power alone generated over than a fifth (22%) of EU electricity, overtaking gas (16%) for the first time in history. (Ellerbeck 2023.) Luxembourg achieved 86% of electricity from renewables, scoring the biggest share in the EU. Finland with its 54,6% share is one of the nine EU countries with most of the electricity generated from renewables. (van Halm 2023.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year 2022 was the record year in terms of the EU energy transition by deploying about 55 GW of new renewable energy capacity (Table 1), out of which, 16 GW was wind energy (8,6% growth from 2021) and 41 GW solar power generation capacity (24% growth from 2021) (Enerdata 2023; Ellerbeck 2023). For the first time, in the Netherlands and Greece, produced solar power surmounted coal production. Greece is forecasted to hit her 2030 solar capacity target already by the end of 2023.
