Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wind energy has been experiencing the most consistent global growth over the past few years, with an average annual growth rate of 17% from 2013-2018. In 2018 alone, the global wind energy capacity increased by 51.3 GW. Solar energy has also been growing rapidly, but with more fluctuations in growth rates from year to year. Hydropower is a well-established renewable energy source and has been expanding, but not as rapidly as wind and solar. Bioenergy growth has been limited due to concerns around sustainability and competition with food production.
