Two new pieces of research show that solar and wind energy are growing faster than expected, says RMI and the Bezos Earth Fund. “Rapid growth in solar, wind and battery deployment means that by 2030 the global electricity system can deliver ambitious net-zero pathways. “This exponential growth in renewable electricity is unlocking widespread benefits, including security of supply and jobs growth, as well as countering energy price inflation,” said the two organisations. Certain key countries and regions including China and Europe are leading the way in adopting clean energy technology, at an exponential growth rate. “However, this backward-looking assessment misses the exponential growth of new energy technologies in the largest industries of the fossil fuel system.
