Bruno Le Maire outlined the French government’s strategy for deploying 45 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind power by 2050. The minister pointed out that with three offshore wind farms already connected, the country is on track to reach 4 GW by 2030, and to reach 18 GW by 2035. This is to rise to 300 GW by 2050.

Not so long ago solar photovoltaic and wind power were just accounting for less than ten percent of the global electricity production. Based on the forecasts, this would see solar and wind generate 12,000-14,000TWh by 2030, 3-4 times higher compared with 2022 levels. C, based on IEA scenarios.

Against a backdrop of new solar and wind projects, the country has increased its renewable energy target to 52% by 2030, 70% by 2040 and 80% by 2050. GW by 2030 at an annual growth rate of 9.3% during the decade 2020-2030. Wind power will become the largest renewable energy source in the country overtaking hydro. .

UCS found that the IRA more than doubles the current rate of annual US emissions reductions to roughly 3 percent through 2030. But to lower emissions by 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, the United States would have to cut emissions by more than 5 percent a year. How is that going to happen?

The progress in the numbers The new numbers are from the federal Energy Information Administration (EIA), which collects data from power plant operators from across the country. Solar power increased the most among renewable electricity sources in percentage terms, up 24 percent. It supplied 10.5 percentage points).*
