The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects global renewable power capacity to double by 2030, driven largely by China's rapid expansion in clean technologies. This growth contrasts with slower progress in the United States and the European Union due to policy changes.

• Global renewable power capacity is forecast to increase by 4,600 gigawatts by 2030.
• China is expected to contribute nearly 60 percent of this global renewable capacity growth.
• Solar photovoltaics are anticipated to account for approximately 80 percent of the increase in renewable capacity over the next five years.
• The IEA report forecasts China's renewable capacity additions to reach nearly 465 GW in 2025.
• The forecast for the US was revised down by almost 50 percent compared to last year.
