The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) published its annual Renewable Capacity Statistics 2019 report on Tuesday, the most comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible figures on renewable energy capacity, which revealed that there was renewable energy growth in all regions around the globe, though at varying levels.
