GLOBAL ELECTRICITY REVIEW 2020-21 GLOBAL TRENDS by Ember Climate

Key message: Wind and solar drive a record fall in coal in 2020. But only because the pandemic paused rising electricity demand.
This annual report analyses electricity data from every country in the world to give the first accurate view of the global electricity transition in 2020. It aggregates generation data by fuel by country from 2000. 68 countries comprising 90% of world electricity generation have full-year data to 2020 and have formed the basis of an estimate for changes in worldwide generation. All remaining countries have full data as far as 2019. G20 countries, which comprise 84% of world electricity generation, each have a separate in-depth country analysis. All the data can be viewed and downloaded freely from Ember’s website.
