IEA: Binnen afzienbare tijd staat alle vervuilende elektriciteitsopwekking in de schaduw van wind en zon

In the IEA-report on renewables published yesterday, the following is notable:

Over the coming five years, several renewable energy milestones are expected to be achieved:

  • In 2024, wind and solar PV together generate more electricity than hydropower.
  • In 2025, renewables surpass coal to become the largest source of electricitygeneration.
  • Wind and solar PV each surpass nuclear electricity generation in 2025 and 2026 respectively.
  • In 2028, renewable energy sources account for over 42% of global electricity generation, with the share of wind and solar PV doubling to 25%.

And keep in mind that the IEA has a long standing tendency to underestimate renewables and  overestimate nuclear in their scenarios
