Sweden has a total of 16.4 GW of wind power capacity at the end of 2023, the 5th highest in Europe and most per capita. Wind power produced 20.9% of national electricity generation in 2023, up from 0.3% in 2000. In July 2024, the Swedish Wind Energy Association (SWEA) projected that cumulative wind power capacity in the country will rise to 19.5 GW by the end of 2026. Longer-term pr. Future developmentsThe 's (IEA) Wind Technology Collaboration Programme 2021 report outlines Sweden's progress in wind energy. By 2021, Sweden had achieved a total wind power capacity of 12.116 MW. .
The Association for Swedish Landscape Protection is in opposition to wind power. Their chairman says: It is beginning to get through, I think, that with the existing nuclear and hydro power available i. .

As of 2023, Colombia's renewable electricity generation capacity was 14.3 GW. Most of this capacity is . is growing fast, and in 2023 accounted for about 5% of the renewable capacity, up from almost zero five years earlier. The country has significant wind and solar resources that remain largely unexploited. According to a study by the World Bank’s (ESMAP), exploiting the country’s significant wind pot.

The early development of solar technologies starting in the 1860s was driven by an expectation that coal would soon become scarce, such as experiments by . installed the world's first rooftop photovoltaic solar array, using 1%-efficient cells, on a New York City roof in 1884. However, development of solar technologies stagnated in the early 20th centu.

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.
