The renewable energy sector has experienced enormous growth in the last ten years. In 2022, the use of renewable energy worldwide grew by 10 per cent compared to the previous year. However, only 14 per cent of total energy consumption currently comes from renewable sources.
It is estimated that the share of renewable energy in the global primary energy supply will increase to 77 per cent by 2050. In order to achieve this target, the use of renewable energies must triple by 2030 compared to 2022, which corresponds to an annual increase of 1,200 gigawatts.
Fragile supply chains and a lack of storage solutions are slowing down the energy transition
Currently, renewable energy developers, investors, utilities and other stakeholders face too many hurdles to achieve this level of growth - from fragile supply chains to a lack of storage solutions.
