The world is entering a new "Age of Electricity" where renewable energy and nuclear power will supply half of all global electricity by 2030, up from 42% today. This historic shift marks the first time clean energy sources will overtake coal, powered by record solar installations and surging electricity demand worldwide.
Record-breaking solar generation last year covered three-quarters of new electricity demand worldwide, signaling a fundamental shift in how the planet powers itself. Energy experts say this isn't just a milestone—it's proof that renewable energy has become central to the global power system. ##
Solar and wind power just pushed renewable energy to nearly half of all global power capacity. The record-breaking surge shows clean energy is reshaping how the world generates electricity.
The world installed a record-breaking 511 gigawatts of solar power in 2025, enough to power hundreds of millions of homes. Solar accounted for three-quarters of all new renewable energy added worldwide, marking the fastest clean energy expansion in history.
The world installed a record-breaking 511 gigawatts of solar power in 2025, marking the fastest growth in renewable energy history. Solar now accounts for nearly half of all global electricity capacity, bringing cleaner air and energy security to millions.
For the first time, clean energy growth matched all of last year's rising electricity demand while fossil fuel use stayed flat. Solar power led the charge with a stunning one-third jump in generation.
For the first time ever, solar energy contributed the largest share of global electricity demand growth, meeting more than a quarter of the world's increased energy needs. The clean energy milestone signals a fundamental shift in how humanity powers itself.
Solar power shattered records in 2025, meeting three-quarters of the world's new electricity needs and overtaking wind for the first time. The clean energy milestone signals a fundamental shift away from fossil fuels across developed and developing nations alike.
The cost of solar energy has plummeted 90% in just a decade, making it the cheapest power source for much of the world. This price collapse is fueling an unprecedented renewable energy boom that's finally starting to bend the curve on global carbon emissions.
For the first time in history, wind and solar energy generated more electricity than gas-fired power plants worldwide in April 2025. This milestone marks a major turning point in the global shift toward clean energy.
As nations race to escape fossil fuel dependency after Middle East supply disruptions, China's renewable energy expertise is powering a worldwide transition to cleaner grids. The shift could dramatically reduce global carbon emissions while transforming which countries lead the energy economy.
The world is moving from an era where power comes from controlling fossil fuels to one where it comes from building and sharing technology. This transition could fundamentally change which countries and communities hold influence on the world stage.
The UK just started receiving its first geothermal electricity from a pioneering Cornwall plant that also produces lithium for batteries. A worldwide surge in clean, always-on geothermal energy could soon power 15% of global electricity growth by 2050.
An Indian energy company just secured $22 million to help make power grids smarter and more sustainable worldwide. Kimbal is already powering 10 million smart meters and now has the funding to go global.
Renewable energy just made history as the world's biggest source of new energy supply in 2025, with solar power alone driving 71% of that growth. It's a turning point that shows clean energy is finally racing ahead, even as the world's appetite for power hits record highs.
While global energy markets face crisis, China's decade-long wind power investments are paying off in a big way. The country installed three times more wind capacity than the rest of the world combined last year.
For the first time in history, renewable energy now powers nearly half the world's electricity grid. Solar and wind broke records in 2024, proving clean energy isn't just the future—it's happening right now.
For the first time since 2020, fossil fuel electricity generation didn't increase anywhere in the world. Solar, wind, and other clean energy sources grew fast enough to power nearly all new demand in 2025.
For the first time outside a pandemic, wind and solar together added more energy worldwide than any single fossil fuel in 2025. The milestone marks a turning point in how the world powers itself, even as total energy use hit record highs.
For the first time in history, solar energy led global energy supply growth, providing a quarter of all new energy demand in 2025. The milestone marks a turning point in the world's shift away from fossil fuels.
