6 FAQs about [International subsidies for solar power generation]
How much do energy subsidies cost the world?
The world’s total, direct energy sector subsidies – including those to fossil fuels, renewables and nuclear power – are estimated to have been at least USD 634 billion in 2017. These were dominated by subsidies to fossil fuels, which account for around 70% (USD 447 billion) of the total.
What percentage of energy subsidies go to renewables?
Subsidies to renewable power generation technologies account for around 20 % of total energy sector subsidies (USD 128 billion), biofuels for 6 % (USD 38 billion) and nuclear for at least 3 % (USD 21 billion), but potentially more, as already noted.
What percentage of wind power subsidies are in the EU?
The EU accounted for an estimated 86 % of ofshore wind power subsidies in 2017, 52 % of solar PV subsidies and 57 % of onshore wind subsidies. Globally, solar PV is estimated to have received the largest share (48 %) of renewable power generation support, with USD 60.8 billion in 2017.
How many direct energy sector subsidies are there in 2017?
Combining the estimates of fossil fuel, renewable and nuclear power subsidies yields an estimate of total direct energy sector subsidies for 2017 of USD 634 billion (Figure 10). The total is dominated by the subsidies received by fossil fuels, which account for 70 % (USD 447 billion).
Will subsidies for renewable power generation decline by 2030?
As a result, subsidies for renewable power generation will start to decline by 2030 (Figure 14). Total subsidies for renewable power generation fall from USD 128 billion in 2017 to USD 53 billion by 2030, despite the rapid growth in renewable power generation deployment.
What percentage of China's renewable power generation subsidies go to onshore wind?
In China, India and the rest of the world, onshore wind received large shares of the total renewable power generation subsidy. Some 43 % of China’s renewable power generation subsidies went to onshore wind in 2017, while the figure was 51 % for India and 40% for the rest of the world.
