In most places in the world power from new renewables is now cheaper than power from new fossil fuels. The fundamental driver of this change is that renewable energy technologies follow learning curves, which means that with each doubling of the cumulative installed capacity their price declines by the same fraction.
Renewable energy in heat and transport is less resilient. Global electricity demand is expected to be more than 2% lower in 2020 than in 2019, while renewables-based generation increases by almost 7%. Despite the pandemic, renewable capacity additions are expected to reach another record – proving their resilience.
