Not vital to the larger point but:
> to have any hope of achieving this goal would require the addition, every year, of 630 gigawatts of solar photovoltaics and 390 GW of wind starting no later than 2030—figures that are around four times as great as than any annual tally so far.
But according to Bloomberg:
> developers deployed 444 GW of new PV capacity throughout the world in 2023.
So rather than 25% towards the 2030 goal we are 66% there on PV.
Bloomberg continues:
> It says new installations could reach 574 GW this year, 627 GW in 2025, and 880 GW in 2030.
So hitting the target 5 years ahead of schedule by this estimate.
- Krssst 3y agoBloomberg seems to be talking about capacity (does not take into account capacity factor, only max output when it's sunny), maybe the article is talking of average actual production? (which is between three and four times lower as far as I know)
