In the United States, California continues to have the most solar energy, followed by Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona.
China was one of the few growing markets this year for wind, the Global Wind Energy Council said.
Faster permitting and other improvements in key markets such as Germany and India also helped add more wind energy.
The top three markets this year are still China, the United States, and Germany for wind energy produced on land, and China, the United Kingdom, and Germany for offshore.
The analysts are predicting that the global industry will rebound next year and make nearly 12% more wind energy available worldwide.
