According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, renewable energy capacity grew by 140% between 2015 and 2024, far outpacing fossil fuels. The question of which source of energy is most preferred and why is complex, as it involves a balance of environmental benefits, economic costs, reliability, and public perception. While fossil fuels historically dominated, the surge in renewable adoption highlights a major shift in global energy priorities.

According to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), the sum of all primary energy inputs into a national energy system is called the Total Primary Energy Requirement (TPER). This metric is essential for governments, energy analysts, and policymakers to understand a country's total energy demand and how different sources contribute to it.

With some regions, like New York State, mandating that 70% of electricity be met by renewable sources by 2030, the global push for clean energy is accelerating. So how exactly will 70% of our energy requirements be met by a combination of new and existing clean power technologies and strategic policy decisions? The answer lies in a comprehensive, multifaceted approach that combines scalable renewable generation with smart grid technologies and advanced energy storage solutions.
