Between 2000 and 2023, renewables grew from 16% to 82% of electricity consumption. Over the same period, their share of Denmark’s total final energy use rose from 5% to 45%, as renewables expanded into heating, transport, industry and agriculture. Full case study here: rbe.ren21.net/case-study/d...

Ørsted began as DONG, a state oil and gas company where fossil fuels made up 85% of production well into the 2000s. The full pivot came in 2017, when the company divested its oil and gas assets and renamed itself after the scientist who discovered electromagnetism. 🔗 rbe.ren21.net/case-study/d...

China has built the world’s largest solar and wind power system, with 1,840 GW installed by the end of 2025. Scaling #renewables takes more than adding capacity. It requires grids, planning and investment to connect projects and move power. Link to China case study: rbe.ren21.net/case-study/c...

The energy transition only works if it works for everyone. The RBE Tracker measures who's being left behind and what good policy looks like, offering an opportunity to reshape the governance of energy access and ownership. Learn more here: rbe.ren21.net #RenewablesNow #REN21 #Society #Governance

Wind power in Denmark did not reach 60% of #electricity generation overnight. Feed-in tariffs introduced in the 1990s gave #renewables a stable foothold in the market, growing wind’s share from around 2% in 1990 to 20% by 2003. That early support paved the way. 🔗 rbe.ren21.net/case-study/d...

Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.
