List of countries by renewable electricity production
This article is a list of countries and territories by electricity generation from renewable sources every year. Note that most countries import and/or export electricity, so the percentage figures do not reflect the percentage of consumption that is renewable based. Based on REN21's 2020 report, renewables contributed 19.2% to humans' global energy consumption and 23.7% to their generation of electricity in 2014 and 2015, respectively. This energy consumption is divided as 8.9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy (modern biomass, geothermal and solar heat), 3.9% hydro electricity and 2.2% is  electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$332 billion in 2018. Globally, there are an estimated 7.7 million jobs associated with the renewable energy industries, with solar photovoltaics being the largest renewable employer. worldwide, more than half of all new electricity capacity installed was renewable. The raw data is from IRENA unless a more recent source is available, and is augmented with US Energy Information Administration (EIA) statistics as specified.
