thanks for keping it going nonetheless!
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…
Nice! The India and China dashboards are mega useful
It's y-axis upgrade time again ;)
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.
Graph showing: India's grid power mix: 25 December 2025
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 recorded its fastest solar growth on record in 2025, driven by a surge in utility-scale projects
🔆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
Our upcoming data release on February 10, 2026, will include +35k wind and +103k solar assets worldwide — all part of our open-access energy infrastructure datasets. The updated wind & solar data and briefing drops Feb 10 via @globalenergymon.bsky.social #renewables #wind #solar 🧪💡☀️💨
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?
Always an interesting compilation. The battery storage headlines particularly eye catching!
86% of new coal-fired power capacity planned to begin operating in 2026 will be in China giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
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...
from giga to terawatts on the y-axis in this latest forecast, a sure sign of progress!

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)
Meanwhile solar+wind become the majority source of the state's power in 2025 y-t-d, while solar curtailment runs at record levels, "up to 48% at peak hours" www.mercomindia.com/rajasthan-cu...
Interesting! Solar+wind become the majority source of power in the state in 2025 y-t-d
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.
A new Nature article using GEM data (@globalenergymon.bsky.social) found that the top 250 oil and gas firms own just 2% of the world's renewable power. #renewables 💡🧪

liked this figure: 23 nuclear power plants under construction abroad, 20 by Russia’s Rosatom, 2 by France’s EDF, and 1 by and China’s CNNC
Quite blunt from the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2025: "Solar Adds Hundreds of Gigawatts,
Nuclear Remains Irrelevant in the Market" www.worldnuclearreport.org/IMG/pdf/wnis...
A detailed rundown of the BRICS group and climate action. Particularly relevant in the run up to COP
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.
