Summary:

The renewable electricity market has witnessed an unprecedented acceleration in recent years, and it broke another annual deployment record in 2016. The market's main driver last year was solar photovoltaics, which is boosting the growth of renewables in power capacity around the world. As costs decline, wind and solar are becoming increasingly comparable to new-build fossil fuel alternatives in a growing number of countries. China remains the dominant player, but India is increasingly moving to the centre stage. Government policies are introducing more competition through renewable auctions, further reducing costs. The IEA's newly renamed Renewables 2017 (formerly titled Medium-Term Renewables Market Report) provides a detailed market analysis and overview of renewable electricity capacity and generation, biofuels production, and heat consumption, as well as a forecast for the period between 2017 and 2022. This year's report also provides additional analysis on the contribution of electric vehicles to renewable road transport and on the off-grid solar market in Africa and developing Asia. Finally, the report identifies a set of policy improvements in key markets that could accelerate the growth of renewables in the electricity sector as well as the growth of transport biofuels for the first time. These are needed to accelerate decarbonisation in all sectors in order to be on track to meet long-term climate goals.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Photovoltaics grew faster than any other fuel in 2016, opening a new era for solar power

China is the undisputed renewable growth leader, holding the key to the future of solar PV

The United States remains the second-fastest growing market, while renewable electricity growth in India surpasses the European Union

Renewable generation becomes more competitive, closing the gap with coal As growth of wind and solar accelerates, system integration becomes increasingly importantBiofuels remain the champion of renewables in transport while the share of electric vehicles grows

Renewable heat grows by a quarter, but its share increases only marginally
