BERLIN: Global renewable energy capacity registered record growth in 2024 but progress is still falling short of the 2030 renewable capacity target, a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) showed on Wednesday.

About 92.5% of energy capacity added in 2024 came from renewables, at 585 gigawatts (GW), marking record annual growth of 15.1% and lifting total renewables capacity to 4,448 GW.
