Solar power recently overtook hydropower to become the 3rd largest source of electricity in terrawatts (February 2023).
Some analysts believe that by the end of 2027, Solar PV will become the largest source of energy, ahead of coal and gas, due to declining set-up costs and massive private/public sector investment.
This market asks whether solar PV will indeed be the number 1 source of power (by terrawatts) by the end of 2027 (31st Dec 12 am) according to data from the International Energy Agency.
