Over the past few years, renewable energy sources (RES) have shown remarkable growth, solidifying their position in the global energy sector. According to a recent report by the Ember think tank, renewable energy accounted for a record 32% of global electricity generation last year. However, overall electricity demand has continued to rise, driven by extreme weather events and the energy needs of data centers.
