Target 500 GW of renewable energy capacity

The verdict

Government figures cited in search results put non-fossil capacity at 300.5 GW as of 31 Jul 2026, about 60% of the 500 GW goal (official target year 2030). Includes large hydro and nuclear, so it is not a like-for-like renewables count. Pace needed is high.
