Next-generation approaches need to factor in the system value of electricity from wind and solar power – the overall benefit arising from the addition of a wind or solar power generation source to the power system.
When this real system value of variable renewables is measured, and policies are put in place to maximize the benefit from this value, then the next generation of wind and solar can begin to truly live up to its potential. Next Generation Wind and Solar Power - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency.
The increase in wind power generation is the stand-out success story in the renewables sector. As the chart below shows, wind barely registered as a source of energy before 1990. Wind-powered energy generation capacity has risen steadily for 30+ years.
Solar is leading the energy revolution. It was the fastest-growing source of electricity generation for the 19th year in a row, and surpassed wind to become the largest source of new electricity for the second year running. Indeed, solar added more than twice as much new electricity as coal in 2023.
Wind and solar power generation is growing by around 15-20% per year – based on a 10-year average – and looks set to outstrip any increases in annual electricity demand by the end of 2023 as they are, in many countries, already cheaper and strategically more secure than fossil fuels.
Combining wind and solar power contributes to a more balanced and diverse renewable energy portfolio. The integration of energy storage technologies also allows for better grid management and higher penetration of renewable energy into existing power systems. Moreover, hybrid systems bring significant economic advantages.

Hybrid systems, combining the power of wind and solar, represent a transformative approach to renewable energy generation. By leveraging the strengths of both sources, these systems maximize energy production, enhance reliability, and offer a more balanced and consistent power supply.
Therein, renewable energy, primarily wind and solar, is anticipated to become the dominant electricity source. Wind and solar energy investments have become increasingly favorable, mainly because wind and solar power generation costs have declined sharply over the past decade(G. He, G. et al., 2020).

Renewables, including solar, wind, hydropower, biofuels and others, are at the centre of the transition to less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy systems. Generation capacity has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by policy support and sharp cost reductions for solar photovoltaics and wind power in particular.
A new era for wind and solar as milestones pile up. Wind and solar generation growth has led to additional milestone moments across the EU.

In the same month, Poland hit a third of generation coming from wind and solar, also for ...
This hybrid system can take advantage of the complementary nature of solar and wind energy: solar panels produce more electricity during sunny days when the wind might not be blowing, and wind turbines can generate electricity at night or during cloudy days when solar panels are less effective.
