126.5 GW solar and wind power installed in 2016
Despite an 18 percent investment decline, record levels of green energy were installed in the world last year, according to Bloomberg. Solar beat wind, while offshore wind shows strong development.
Last year, enough solar and wind was installed across the world that it would account for 17 W per every person on the planet. According to Recharge, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) reports that a record 70 GW of solar and near-record 56.5 GW of wind power were installed in 2016, increasing the world's green energy capacity by 126.5 GW.
