Explore our interactive map illustrating the rise of renewables over the last 20 years.

In our interactive map below, see how the take-up of renewable electricity has progressed across the world. The largest economies still have a lot of work to do to fully decarbonise their electricity systems, but renewables now make up a significant portion of most major economies’ electricity supply.
