When comparing the three primary renewable energy sources of wind, water, and #solar, it is easy to see that at the moment, hydropower is the most powerful renewable energy source.

Although wind and solar have seen dramatic growth in #energy capacity during recent years, hydropower is still number one, with a total energy production capacity of 1,311 gigawatts at the end of 2019. Wind energy has a full energy production capacity of 622.7 gigawatts, and solar is sitting at 583.5 gigawatts.

Throughout 2020, both wind and solar had added enormous amounts of capacity to their industries. Solar alone added 139.4 gigawatts of new capacity, while wind power added somewhere around 120 additional gigawatts of global capacity.

At the rate of growth that we see in both the solar and wind energy sectors, it is only a matter of a few years that it will be possible for both wind and solar to surpass hydropower as the most powerful sources of renewable energy on the planet.
