IEA – Renewables, 2023

The report "Renewables 2023" is the International Energy Agency's (IEA) primary analysis on the renewable energy sector. It provides forecasts on the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport, and heat until 2028. The report also explores key challenges and barriers to faster growth in the industry. At the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, over 130 national governments, including the European Union, agreed to work together to triple the world's installed renewable energy capacity to at least 11,000 GW by 2030. "Renewables 2023" provides detailed country-level analysis on the progress towards this global tripling target. An online dashboard is also available to measure the deployment of renewable energy until 2028. In addition to market analysis and forecasts, the report examines various developments in the renewable energy sector, including policy trends, solar PV manufacturing, competitiveness of renewable technologies, energy storage, renewable energy capacity for hydrogen production, prospects for renewable energy companies, system integration, and a special section on biogas and biomethane forecast. The report was prepared by the Renewable Energy Division in the Directorate of Energy Markets and Security and was designed and directed by Heymi Bahar, a Senior Analyst. It received input, analysis, and feedback from multiple colleagues. The lead authors of the report were Yasmina Abdelilah, Ana Alcalde Báscones, Heymi Bahar, Piotr Bojek, François Briens, Trevor Criswell, Jeremy Moorhouse, and Laura Mari Martinez, who was also responsible for data management. Paolo Frankl, Head of the Renewable Energy Division, provided strategic guidance to the work. The report also acknowledges the contributions of other senior management, IEA colleagues, experts from IEA partner countries and other international institutions, and external experts who provided valuable input and reviewed the report. The timely data from the IEA Energy Data Centre was fundamental to the report, with assistance from Pedro Carvalho, Luca Lorenzoni, Taylor Morrison, Nick Johnstone, Julian Prime, and Roberta Quadrelli.
