This exciting new report shows that – for the first time ever – clean energy has won out over fossil fuels in developing countries.
Out of the 186 gigawatts of new power capacity that was built in developing nations in 2017, over half of it was wind and solar power.

In total, developing nations contributed 114 gigawatts of clean energy capacity compared to 63 gigawatts that were added by wealthier nations.
