国际能源机构支持组织和联合国调查报告显示，去年美国及欧洲所有新电力容量中一半来自风能及太阳能等可再生能源。
去年，新绿色发电量入网创下了新的创纪录，部分归功于巴西，印度和中国等国家的新兴工厂，及经济疲惫的发达国家生产的转移输出。
2005年在联合国环境计划署的支持国际能源机构（IEA）推出了REN21，建议对28个国家进行工业化。
“2010年全球可再生能源状况报告”指出，全球80GW新发电能力中，中国独占37GW，比其他任何国家都要多。
尽管面临着金融危的机影响及油价下跌的挑战，可再生能源使用增长速率仍接近往年，其中太阳能光伏（PV）增长53%、风力发电功率同比增长了32%。
过去十年中，太阳能光伏发电并网以平均每年增61%的速率不断增长，自2000年以来增加了100倍。
这种繁荣很大程度上得力于欧洲国家的鼎力支持，如今该地区国家纷纷削减补贴，引起了投资者的恐慌。但投资者预测，2010年风能和太阳能行业仍有望创下新的纪录。
More than half of all new electricity capacity added in the United States and Europe last year was from renewable power such as wind and solar, a body backed by the International Energy Agency and the UN reported.
Last year was also a record year for the amount of new green power added to the grid, partly a result of shifting deployment and manufacture to emerging economies including Brazil, India and China, from flagging developed countries.
REN21, launched in 2005, is supported by the International Energy Agency (IEA), which advises 28 industrialized countries -- and by the United Nations Environment Programme.
Of an extra 80 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable power capacity added worldwide, China added 37 GW, more than any other country, said the study, titled "Renewables 2010, Global Status Report."
Despite the impact of the financial crisis and lower oil prices, renewable capacity grew at rates close to those in previous years, including solar photovoltaic (PV) power at 53 percent and wind power at 32 percent, the report said.
Grid-connected solar PV power had grown by an average of 60 percent every year for the past decade, increasing 100-fold since 2000.
That boom has been largely on the back of support in European countries, where a recent pullback following recession has raised investor jitters. But the wind and solar sectors were still poised for a record year in 2010, operators and investors say.
