China will dominate in renewable energy development over the next five years, increasing capacity by more than the US and Europe combined. It also shows that solar and wind will be the main drivers.

Read our take on the report here

Will you confirm that the y axis scale for all charts is equally spaced? The 200 vs 100 increments make it unclear from a glance.

They are indeed equally spaced. Not doing so would make the charts misleading

Was there any data on geothermal?

This needs to be contextualized

What is the expected demand over the same time period for each region?

For all we know the power demand growth rate out paces these capacity increases. Though I doubt it, it is an additional line needed to actually determine the impact of this capacity increase

How can you not show the rest of North America? Knowing how much Canada (Quebec notably) produces in Hydro and sells it to the U.S.

is there any information about how much wind and solar energy will be represented in electricity production in comparison with fossil fuel and nuclear energy sources?

With 118 OC, I assumed credibility, but am grateful for your confirmation. Thank you!!!

Add nuclear and see what’s happening then

Great job with the X axis consistency, relative to China! My only suggestion would be to remove the lines at 100 and 300 for US and India.

It's not on the IEA report afaik

IEA is notoriously poor in estimating growth in renewable. Not really worth tracking.

How can we be letting China beat us to energy independence? Pathetic
