London, 13 November 2025 – Solar and wind have grown fast enough to meet all new electricity demand in the first three quarters of 2025, according to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember.
A review by the SUN DAY Campaign of data released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) reveals that the combination of solar and wind accounted for 90% of new U.S. electrical
Solar PV accounts for almost 80% of the global increase, followed by wind, hydropower, bioenergy and geothermal. In more than 80% of countries worldwide, renewable power capacity is set to grow faster
In the first half of 2025, U.S. solar and wind made up 91% of new power capacity, surpassing natural gas and marking a major shift toward clean energy.
Few studies have optimized global deployment of photovoltaic and wind power. Here we present a strategy involving construction of 22,821 photovoltaic, onshore-wind, and offshore-wind...
This dataset contains yearly electricity generation, capacity, emissions, import and demand data for over 200 geographies. You can find more about Ember''s methodology in this document.
For solar PV, wind and bioenergy for power, deployment has been revised downwards. Solar PV accounts for over 70% of the absolute reduction, mainly from utility-scale projects, while offshore wind demonstrates the
Solar and wind are growing fast enough to meet all new electricity demand worldwide for the first three quarters of 2025, according to new data from energy think tank Ember.
As a result of new solar projects coming on line this year, we forecast that U.S. solar power generation will grow 75% from 163 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2023 to 286 billion kWh in 2025. We expect
