Renewable energy Share of Global electricity Production, 2010 Fossil fuel 67.6 % Nuclear 13 % Hydro- 16.1% power Other 3.3 % Renewables (non-hydro) In the United States, renewable energy accounted for an estimated 25% of electric capacity additions in 2010 and 11.6% of existing electric capacity at year’s end; during the year, renewables provided just over 10.3% of total domestic electricity.9 Further, renewables accounted for about 10.9% of U.S. domestic primary energy production (compared with nuclear’s 11.3% share), an increase of 5.6% relative to 2009.10 18 II) The use of “European Union,” or “EU” throughout refers specifically to the EU-27. Source: See Endnote 6 for this section China led the world in the installation of wind turbines and solar thermal systems and was the top hydropower producer in 2010. The country added an estimated 29 GW of grid-connected renewable capacity, for a total now comprises about a quarter of total global power- generating capacity (estimated at 4,950 GW in 2010) and supplies close to 20% of global electricity, with most of this provided by hydropower.6/I (See Figure 3.) When hydropower is not included, renewables reached a total of 312 GW, a 25% increase over 2009 (250 GW).7 (See Table R4.) Among all renewables, global wind power capacity increased the most in 2010, by 39 GW. Hydropower capacity increased by about 30 GW during 2010, and solar PV capacity increased by almost 17 GW. of 263 GW, an increase of 12% compared with 2009.11 Renewables accounted for about 26% of China’s total installed electric capacity in 2010, 18% of generation, and more than 9% of final energy consumption.12 The top five countries for non-hydro renewable power capacity were the United States, China, Germany, Spain, and India. Including hydropower, China, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and India tied with Germany, were the top countries for total installed renewable energy capacity by the end of 2010.8 (See Top Five Table on page 15 for other rankings; see also Figure 4.) Data In the European UnionII , renewables accounted for an estimated 41% of newly installed electric capacity in 2010, with PV accounting for more than half of the total.13 Although the share was significantly lower than the more than 60% of total capacity added in 2009, more renewable power capacity was added in Europe than ever before (22.6 GW), with total installations up 31% over the previous year (17.5 GW).14 Renewable energy’s share of total electricity generation in the EU was nearly 20% in 2009 (42% of which was non-hydropower); the share of total gross inland energy consumption increased from 5.4% in 1999 to 9% in 2009.15 I) These data include pumped storage, currently at about 136 GW globally, as part of hydropower capacity. This practice will be revisited with the Renewables 2012 Global Status Report. Although pumped storage is not an energy source and is often used to store fossil or nuclear energy, it can play an important role in enabling the increased penetration of variable renewable sources for electricity generation. In 2010, Germany met 11% of its total final energy con- sumption with renewable sources, which accounted for
