On this week’s episode of #TruthtoPower, IntelStor's Founder & CEO, Philip Totaro continues analysis from the IntelStor Future of Renewables #marketresearch Report to look at generation and efficiency, as well as finance data for all global regions.

The world has generated a collective 10.795 petawatt hours of renewable energy as of the end of 2025 with 52.24% of global generation coming from Asia Pacific, 26% coming from the Americas, 18.97% coming from Europe and just 2.8% coming from Africa & the Middle East. By 2030, we expect to see a total generation of close to 13 petawatt hours with the distribution largely the same globally.

Europe leads the world with the highest average capacity factor across all technologies, but also leads 7 of 12 renewable energy technology categories as well. The shift away from hydropower to more solar PV and wind energy has led to an overall reduction in capacity factors across the renewable technologies since 2000.

Feed in tariffs (FiTs) have helped the world to see the rapid growth of renewable energy in the past 25 years. The average prices paid per region range from US$63.76/MWhr in the Americas to US$112.31/MWhr in Europe.

Total expenditure of public finance for renewable energy technologies in the past 25 years has been US$396.6 billion, with 29.6% in the Americas 25.8% in Africa & Middle East, 22.3% in Asia Pacific and 22.3% in Europe. Curiously, solid biofuels have seen a surge in spending coming close to 50% of the total annual allocation.
