Global clean energy generation exceeded electricity demand growth in 2025, with renewables accounting for over one-third of total power supply for the first time, according to Ember. Clean generation rose by 887 terawatt hours against demand growth of 849 terawatt hours, led by strong solar expansion in China and India. Solar alone met nearly three-quarters of incremental demand, while combined solar and wind generation accounted for almost all of it. Coal’s share fell below one-third of global generation, and fossil fuel output declined marginally. The report also highlighted rapid growth in battery storage, alongside declining costs, enabling better utilisation of solar energy. The shift indicates a structural transition in global power systems, with renewables increasingly meeting incremental demand.Read more
