Abstract :The main purpose of this work was to survey the effect of pandemic COVID-19 on global energy demand and electricity production with Renewable Energy Sources insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RES);. The comprehensive survey showed that electricity city production with non-renewables such as coal and oil decreased, resulting in a reduction of coal demand and CO2 emissions. Additionally, the global energy demand enormously declined at worldwide and the European Countries that have been affected the most because of the appearance of a huge amount of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths such as Italy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(at the regional level and national);, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. On the other hand, statistically significant results indicated that electricity production in conjunction with RES especially including solar and wind energy increased pronouncedly. Notwithstanding the short-term period of the pandemic of the COVID-19 outbreak, there would be still a great interest in green energy and this pandemic would not have much impact on the long-term the trend of Renewable Energy growth.
