6 FAQs about [New policies for wind and photovoltaic power generation]

How much power is generated by wind & PV in 2021?

By the end of 2021, the grid-connected wind and PV power installed capacity reached 328 GW and 306 GW respectively. The annual cumulative power generation of wind and PV power reached 978.5 billion kWh, up 35% year-on-year, accounting for 11.7% of the total power generation, an increase of 2.2 percentage point over the previous year (Fig. 1).

What is the capacity of PV & wind power plants in 2021–2060?

In a baseline scenario, the capacity of individual PV and wind power plants is limited to 10 GW without electricity transmission and energy storage, whereas the growth rate of PV and wind power is constant during 2021–2060 without considering the dynamics of learning.

How will solar PV & wind impact global electricity generation?

The share of solar PV and wind in global electricity generation is forecast to double to 25% in 2028 in our main case. This rapid expansion in the next five years will have implications for power systems worldwide.

What is the power-use efficiency of PV and wind power plants?

By considering the flexible power load with UHV and energy storage, the power-use efficiency for PV and wind power plants is estimated when the electrification rate in 2060 increases from 0 to 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% (a) and the power generation by other renewables in 2060 increases from 0 to 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 PWh year −1 (b).

How are PV and wind power plants estimated?

The installed capacity (a) and costs (b) of PV and wind power plants built during 2020–2060 are estimated in our model by optimizing the construction time of individual power plants at a temporal interval of 5 years (bars) or 10 years (stars).

How can the EU accelerate wind and solar PV?

Faster acceleration of wind and solar PV would require EU member states to reduce permitting and licensing timelines, extend auction schemes with clear schedules, redesign auctions to reflect the increasing cost of renewables and their energy security benefits, and improve incentive schemes for distributed solar PV generation.
