WWF director for global energy policy for WWFs’ global climate and energy initiative, Dr Stephan Singer, points out that, “Even the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development-led International Energy Agency [IEA], which has underestimated the real growth in clean renewables, is now acknowledging that renewables [mainly wind and solar] will be the largest new electricity sources in the decade to come.”
According to the IEA report, renewable electricity additions over the next five years were expected to top 700 gigawatts – more than twice Japan’s current power capacity.
