On this week’s episode of #TruthtoPower, IntelStor's Founder & CEO, Philip Totaro analyzes the generation and efficiency of #renewableenergy within the Americas region from the IntelStor Future of Renewables #marketresearch Report.
2025 ended with over 2.8 petawatt hours of renewable energy generation in the Americas region. While hydropower was 92.3% of the market share in 2000, it comprised 91.6% of the generation in the market.
As of the end of 2025, hydropower’s contribution to renewable energy power generation in the Americas was reduced to 56.9%, with onshore wind second at 20.5% and solar PV at 12.87%.
By 2030, we expect hydropower’s contribution to generation to reduce below 50% as onshore wind will continue to grow to more than 22%, and solar PV should grow to 17%.
Offshore wind will also start making more of a contribution by 2030 with up to 2.5% of the total regional generation.
Solid biofuels have sustained a respectable 5 – 6% of generation, but we do not see significant growth potential from the technology.
This show examines data driven insights for the energy sector, with a focus on renewables. To subscribe to IntelStor Research Notes and get early access to our latest content as well as these Truth to Power weekly editorials, visit https://lnkd.in/e98Z9qs3
