Thanks Jenny.

Mythbusting👊

This is so damn good and then you squint at the gas in the background to find the hidden bad news but gas' share is falling too 😍

Today, we published the @ember_energy Global Electricity Review 2026.

That also means 2025 electricity generation data for over 100 countries and regions is now LIVE on our data explorer, data downloads and API.

Open electricity data for everyone!

ember-energy.org/data/electri...

here's the hockey stick!
10 years at an average 27% growth!
solar now ahead of wind, and close to nuclear.

Last year's price falls and deployment.
We are past the tipping point.
It's happening;)...

This is my favourite graphic.

It's incredible how far DAYTIME solar has already come with almost no batteries.

Just think how this will change with batteries, when instead of daytime solar, we get DISPATCHABLE solar.

The solar boom is only just starting...

Global Electricity Review 2026 | Ember Solar surge halts fossil generation rise as clean power meets all demand growth and renewables overtake coal

There is MUCH more to explore in the full analysis!

The @ember-energy.org Global Electricity Review 2026 is now live.

Read the full report here: ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

At a global level, renewables have overtaken coal power for the first time in 100 years.

The rise of solar and wind pushed renewables to 33.8% of global electricity generation.

Coal fell to 33.0% and made up less than a third of global generation for the first time in history.

India's renewable generation increased by 98 TWh in 2025, doubling the previous record increase from 2022.

Solar generation rose by more than 50 TWh (+37%)

Coupled with mild temperatures causing lower demand growth, India also met all the growth in demand with clean power.

Because of the high levels of clean power growth, China's fossil generation has now been flat for about two years.

In China, clean power exceeded demand growth.

Solar and wind alone met 94% of the increase in 2025, despite demand rising a robust 5%.

China's fossil generation fall in 2025 was the first decline since 2015 and only the second this century.

The fall in fossil generation at the global level was underpinned by a remarkable development:

Fossil generation fell in both China and India...

Two decades ago, the vast majority of demand growth was still met by fossil generation.

By 2025, clean power growth has now reached a level that is high enough to meet all additional demand, despite higher absolute demand growth than in previous periods.

The rapid rise of solar and wind has disconnected growth in demand from growth in fossil generation.

81% of solar and wind growth since 2000 happened in just the last 10 years.

Solar's 636 TWh rise was the largest structural single year increase of any electricity source ever.

The only larger rise was coal's 2021 rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Solar had the biggest absolute increase of any source in each of the last four years.

Solar's exponential rise continued in 2025.

Solar grew by 636 TWh, a 30% increase and the highest percentage growth in eight years despite a much higher base.

Solar overtook wind and drew close to nuclear power.

Ten years ago, solar was only a tenth of nuclear generation.

NEW | Clean power met ALL the growth in global electricity demand in 2025

Solar generation alone met THREE QUARTERS of the demand rise and grew by 30%.

Fossil generation stagnated (-0.2%).

NEW | Solar power surge in 2025 stalls rise in fossil electricity worldwide ⚡📈

Clean power growth outpaced global electricity demand last year – with solar alone supplying THREE-QUARTERS of the increase in demand ☀️

In part, this is to do with Chinese tweaks of tax rebates, which means solar effectively gets 9% more expensive on 1-April and battery 3%.

These are relatively small tweaks, and to some extent have been priced in already, so it's defo fair to say this is only one part of what's happening..

MARCH DATA: China's cleantech ‘new three’ exports surged by a staggering 39% in March, compared to February, to a staggering $21.9 billion🤯

Solar +121%
Batteries +44%
EV's +5%

GWEC's Global Wind Report 2026 The Global Wind Report 2026 provides a comprehensive overview of the wind industry’s performance in 2025 and outlines the pathway to accelerated growth.

Their new flagship report is out today, and it's RICH in detail, well worth a read👏

NEW from @gwec.bsky.social:

WIND IS ALIVE AND KICKING🔥🔥🔥
40% more wind was installed in 2025 than 2024

NEXT TUESDAY is the launch of our flagship Global Electricity Review..

Incredible lessons from Texas:

ERCOT has added more than 60 GW of new supply since the devastating Winter Storm Uri blackouts in 2021

The challenge now is to plan for what’s coming. Last month, ERCOT announced that load requests now exceed 410GW.

Loss of gas from Hormuz closure has NOT lead to rise in coal generation - record buildout of solar & wind in 2025 (& ongoing) mitigated impact

Global fossil power generation fell after the Hormuz closure due to solar and wind growth – Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air Global power generation from fossil fuels fell in the first month since the start of the Hormuz blockade, with the fall in gas-fired generation offset by large increases in solar and wind power, rathe...

Fantastic analysis from @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social at @creacleanair.bsky.social

NEW: Global coal power generation UNCHANGED in March - even as gas price surged.

Why?
🟡Gas was ALREADY more expensive than coal.
🟡ZERO retired coal units returned.
🟡SOLAR and WIND meeting all the global rise in electricity demand.

🌐 NEW | Analysis: Global fossil power generation fell in March after Hormuz closure due to solar & wind growth

⚠️ Fall in gas-fired generation offset by large increases in solar & wind power, not coal
