In order to meet the 1.5°C trajectory outlined in the Paris Agreement, the world will need 380 GW of offshore cumulative wind capacity by 2030, expanding to 2,000 GW by 2050. But can it be achieved? The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) projects the upcoming offshore wind installations for each region in their Global Offshore Wind Report 2024.

According to the International Energy Agency, 1,300 GW of battery storage will be needed by 2030 to support the renewable energy capacity required to meet the 1.5°C global warming target. But how close is the world to reaching that target? The Energy Institute’s annual Statistical Review of World Energy reveals the grid storage battery capacity of every country in 2023.

Since 2021, another 40 countries have established climate goals for 2030. However, the path to net zero remains uneven. With average national warming already 1.81°C above pre-industrial levels, the international pressure for countries to cut emissions faster and deeper is mounting. So where do countries stand today on their targets? We’ve partnered with the National Public Utilities Council to answer just this question, using the latest national emission target data from Net Zero Tracker.

Decarbonizing the power sector will require significant investments in clean energy as utilities replace existing fossil fuel infrastructure. In this graphic, we show which U.S investor-owned utilities (IOUs) have allocated the most capital expenditure (CAPEX) toward carbon-free sources of electricity.

Electric utilities and the power sector in the U.S. are crucial for averting climate change, especially as electricity demand rises. But how do the nation’s largest electricity producers compare on the necessity of decarbonization? In partnership with the National Public Utilities Council, we present the 2024 edition of our Annual Utility Decarbonization Index.
