Guest post: Roger Andrews Renewable energy, particularly wind and solar, continues to set records for electicity
generation and
installed capacity in many parts of the world, and as shown in Figure 1 wind and solar growth in recent years has indeed been quite spectacular (the data used to construct this and following Figures are from the 2014 BP Statistical Review of World Energy): Figure 1:
Electricity Generated from Solar and Wind, 1965 - 2013 But Figure 1 doesn't tell the whole story because solar and wind are only two of the four main sources of renewable energy.

CSP and offshore wind had cumulative
installed capacity of just 5 GW and 13 GW respectively at the end of 2016, while the cost of
electricity from recently commissioned projects for these technologies is higher than for other renewable power
generation technologies.
They an
installed capacity of nearly 100 % of their average demand which means that on windy days 100 % of their
electricity comes from wind turbines but it also means that all their other power
generation facilites must shut down on windy days or they must export the excess power.
The cost of
installed PV systems dropped 15 percent in 2013 alone — that's one reason why solar accounted for 29 percent of new US
