Our renewable energy impact is greater than we realize.
How much greater? A lot.
For whatever reasons, we’re not counting a huge amount of renewable energy — especially from small individual efforts. That’s actually great news. Counting the Kilowatts exists to discover how much is being missed, and how much further we really need to go to make the difference we need to make.
Total kilowatts, by the numbers
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.
Combat climate change — right now.
People across our planet are generating clean energy today — but these efforts aren’t always counted by governments, companies, and large non-profits. So what can we do? Get counted!

What’s missing?
Major data-gathering organizations do as well as they can, but they can’t get everything — largely due to non-reporting and mis-reporting countries. The best is IRENA, with the most complete data; they even tried to count everything a few years ago, but ultimately gave up.
A household lightbulb uses about 100 watts — so one kilowatt powers roughly ten of them.
Illustrative — the real gap is what CTK is working to measure.
The story behind every country’s renewable energy.
We share the latest data on the countries we’ve investigated — the numbers we’ve counted, and the story behind each nation’s commitment to renewable energy.
