5 Most Advanced Countries in Renewable Energy

2. United States

2021 Renewable Energy Generation (TWh): 624.5

The United States is a leader in renewable energy generation given the country generated 624.5 TWh of renewable energy last year, ranking second in the world.

Given the United States is a leader in innovation, the country has helped pioneer a lot of technologies that have decreased the cost of solar and wind such as making possible stronger materials for wind turbines so they last longer. For the future, it’s likely the United States will continue to lead the way in technology in addition to increasing its total renewable energy production.

According to the IEA Renewables 2021 main case scenario, the United States is expected to add 217.8 GW of renewable energy capacity from 2021 to 2026.
