About
Ember’s fourth annual Global Electricity Review aims to provide the most transparent and up-to-date overview of changes in global electricity generation in 2022 and a realistic summary of how “on track” the electricity transition is for limiting global heating to 1.5 degrees.
The report analyses electricity data from 78 countries representing 93% of global electricity demand and includes estimated changes in the remaining generation. It also dives deeper into the top ten CO2 emitting countries and regions, accounting for over 80% of global CO2 emissions.
Executive summary
Wind and solar reach a record 12% of global electricity in 2022
As soon as 2023, wind and solar could push the world into a new era of falling fossil generation, and therefore of falling power sector emissions.
