China will dominate in renewable energy development over the next five years, increasing capacity by more than the US and Europe combined. It also shows that solar and wind will be the main drivers.

Will you confirm that the y axis scale for all charts is equally spaced? The 200 vs 100 increments make it unclear from a glance.

They are indeed equally spaced. Not doing so would make the charts misleading

With 118 OC, I assumed credibility, but am grateful for your confirmation. Thank you!!!

Great job with the X axis consistency, relative to China! My only suggestion would be to remove the lines at 100 and 300 for US and India.

How can you not show the rest of North America? Knowing how much Canada (Quebec notably) produces in Hydro and sells it to the U.S.

IEA is notoriously poor in estimating growth in renewable. Not really worth tracking.

This needs to be contextualized

What is the expected demand over the same time period for each region?

For all we know the power demand growth rate out paces these capacity increases. Though I doubt it, it is an additional line needed to actually determine the impact of this capacity increase

is there any information about how much wind and solar energy will be represented in electricity production in comparison with fossil fuel and nuclear energy sources?

How can we be letting China beat us to energy independence? Pathetic

Add nuclear and see what’s happening then
