Hi – noting a possible hiccup on the gen data from ‘grid-india.in’. My usual free browser-based vpn isn’t working since last week. Though I found the Proton browser-based vpn does the trick. Paid for service unfortunately…

Here's a sneaky peak the next release of the GB Renewables Map, or should I say the GB Not Just a Renewables Map…

That's right, all types of power assets are coming to the map! Plus a whole bunch of other improvements.

India's solar is making a solid contribution to daily generation, even in the middle of winter.
(In fact the insolation minimum is during the monsoon season.)

Africa Solar Capacity Seen Rising Sixfold After 2025 Record Africa recorded its fastest solar growth on record in 2025, driven by a surge in utility-scale projects, and could add more than six times last year’s annual capacity by 2029, according to a new industry report.

🔆China electricity consumption to grow 5%-6% in 2026

said China Electricity Council in its latest 2025-2026 analysis and outlook report

For 2026, it also expects power peak load to rise to 1570-1630 GW, and Solar capacity to take over Coal

Explainer: Why gas plays a minimal role in China’s climate strategy - Carbon Brief While gas could play a role in decarbonising some aspects of China’s energy demand, multiple factors would need to change

Today's @carbonbrief.org explainer on gas in China featured @aiqun.bsky.social: "With the rapid expansion of renewables and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, I don’t foresee a bright future for gas power.” 🔌

Does India really need new coal plants—or can clean power additions and higher utilisation of existing fossil capacity do the job?

India’s 2025 renewable power build was impressive⚡
☀️ 38 GW solar
🌬️ 6.5 GW wind
🌊 4 GW large hydro
Solar +55%, wind +85% above the previous record year (2024).
Coal also set for a bumper year: already +7 GW added by November, with December data still to come cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s3716e1b8c6c...

Structural change or abnormally weak year for demand? Cooler pre-monsoon period, excess rainfall, and longer monsoon certainly dampened demand and boosted hydro. Likely a return to more normal temperature and rainfall conditions in 2026 and higher power demand growth. Can solar+wind still keep up?

India’s total electricity generation up just ~1% in 2025 and record solar+wind deployment (+35GW/6GW as of November). Extra solar+wind, plus strong monsoon hydro, more than covered the total generation increase, and pushed coal generation down 3%. Hasn't fallen like that before (outside Covid era)

1. To opinions! Solar is the cheapest source of bulk electricity in many countries, and the quickest to deploy, and now you couldn't stop it being built if you wanted to. The limits to PV build in most places are grid access, permitting, and sometimes installation labour.

A crystal ball for solar in China? The production minus exports of solar cells tends to predict new installations with a lag. While installations predictably slumped since May with new pricing policy, production has been strong for two months, suggesting pick up in installations.

New from us: India's power sector emissions fell for only the 2nd time in half a century, due to both economic and weather factors and record clean energy growth. The current drop is unlikely to be sustained but clean energy projects in the pipeline can peak power sector emissions well before 2030.
