Even after the pandemic it's expected that renewable electricity will grow significantly while fossil generated electricity declines.
The electricity generated from coal and gas together is expected to be 157.23 terawatt hours less in 2022 than 2019. Electricity generated from non-hydro renewables (wind and solar) in 2022 is expected to be 211.45 TWh more than in 2019.
