OEF Rapid Review Articles
According to the International Energy Agency, in 2015 coal power plants produced close to 39% of the world’s power, whilst renewables – including hydroelectric dams – accounted for 23%. However the IEA expects that number to climb to 28% by 2021, when renewables will supply the equivalent of all the power produced currently in the US and the EU combined. The IEA sees renewables growing 13% more between 2015 and 2021 than it did in its previous year’s forecast, due mostly to “stronger policy backing in the United States, China, India and Mexico.”
