Global Total (Excluding Solid Biofuels) Renewable Energy by Country

In 2024, El Salvador leads in renewable energy supply at 32.95% of its Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES), despite a 1.11% decrease from 2023. Sweden and Uruguay follow with 24.39% and 21.16%, respectively, showing increases of 5.88% and 0.31%. Germany and Spain also exhibit growth in renewable energy shares at 13.95% and 12.56%, with notable yearly increases of 7.44% and 4.66%. Conversely, countries like Vietnam (-1.82%), Sri Lanka (-4.67%), and Iraq (-18.21%) have seen declines. Estonian renewable energy saw a significant boost of 13.45%, while Niger experienced the highest surge at 14.59%. Analysis over the past five years indicates a diverse range of growth patterns, with some countries consistently increasing their renewable energy shares, while others fluctuate.

Future trends to watch for include developments in countries showing rapid yearly increases, such as Estonia, Equatorial Guinea, and Niger, which suggest emerging potential in their renewable sectors. Monitoring how geopolitical, economic, and technological changes influence countries with declining renewable shares, like Vietnam and Iraq, will also be crucial for understanding and forecasting global renewable energy dynamics.
