RENEWABLES IN ENERGY SUPPLY

FOREWORD

In addition to the global development and climate deterioration, the global energy crisis experienced in 2021-2022 has

highlighted the critical importance of securing a reliable and stable energy supply. In this context, policy makers as well

as energy consumers have turned more attention to renewable energy. As shifting to renewables becomes a global

necessity, a pressing question remains: How do we ensure that we have enough of them to support a prosperous

economy, foster social equity, and achieve sustainable development? And how can we provide secure and stable

energy supply globally?

Renewable power experienced record-breaking growth in 2022, but this progress alone does not capture the full

picture of the transition. The current growth rate of renewable power is still insuicient, and it overshadows some

critical bottlenecks, such as slow permitting processes and insuicient grid infrastructure – as I write, over 1 terawatt

of renewable power capacity is waiting to be constructed or connected to the grid. Renewable heat and fuels also lag -

heat and fuels provide nearly 80% of global energy supply but are still largely depending on fossil fuel. To shield us from

future crises, policymakers need to pay greater attention to diversifying the sources and technologies of renewables.

In addition, they need to focus on building an economy that has renewables as its backbone. This means putting in

place structures to enable the sustainable growth of the renewables industry, including ramping up manufacturing

capacities, securing necessary supply chains and developing skilled labour.

The Renewables 2023 Global Status Report – Energy Supply Module delves into the intricacies of renewable energy

progress, examining the distribution of energy among carriers and addressing critical obstacles. It is the second in a

five-piece collection released this year and represents the collaborative eorts of hundreds of contributors who share

the ambition of providing irrefutable and unbiased facts and knowledge to propel the global wave of change. I hope that

in this module, you will find the essential elements and tools to support your analysis and work towards a swift transition

to renewable energy.

Thank you to the REN21 team, authors, special advisors, and contributors who have dedicated their knowledge, time, and

eort to produce this report. Their insights, passion, and commitment are instrumental in creating these crowd-sourced

and peer-reviewed reports. I am confident that this publication will serve as a valuable resource for policymakers,

industry leaders, and stakeholders, informing their decision-making and driving the transition to a sustainable energy

future for all.

Sincerely,

Rana Adib

Executive Director, REN21
