Renewable energy refers to energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished. This includes sources such as solar energy from sunlight, wind energy from wind currents, hydroelectric energy from flowing water, geothermal energy from the Earth’s heat, and biomass energy from organic materials.
