5 Most Advanced Countries in Renewable Energy

2. United States

Average Annual Renewable Energy Generation: 1678.6 terawatt-hours 

The United States has the second-highest wind turbine capacity globally, currently standing at 140 gigawatts, and the second-highest solar power capacity at 113 gigawatts. In 2023, the United States continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to renewable energy and environmental justice through a series of substantial initiatives. The Department of Energy (DOE) has played a pivotal role in this effort, notably by contributing $450 million to the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund. This investment aims to provide solar panels and battery storage systems to up to 40,000 homes in Puerto Rico, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable communities.
