تقرير المراجعة العالمية للكهرباء لعام 2025

The Ember Global Electricity Review 2025 executive summary reports that low-carbon electricity exceeded 40% of global generation in 2024, driven by record growth in renewables, particularly solar. Despite this, heatwaves increased electricity demand, leading to a slight rise in fossil fuel generation and record-high sector emissions.

• In 2024, low-carbon electricity—comprising renewables and nuclear power—accounted for more than 40% of total global electricity generation for the first time since the 1940s, rising from 39.4% in 2023. Renewable energy added a record 858 TWh, a 49% increase over the previous record of 577 TWh in 2022. Hydroelectric power remained the largest low-carbon source at 14.3%, followed by nuclear at 8.9%, while wind (8.1%) and solar (6.9%) combined to surpass the share of hydroelectric power in 2024. Nuclear power's share fell to its lowest level in 45 years.
• Solar power has become the primary driver of the global energy transition, with generation doubling over the last three years to exceed 2,000 TWh. In 2024, solar was the fastest-growing source for the 20th consecutive year, with a growth rate of 29% and adding 474 TWh. China accounted for 53% of this global increase in solar generation, and its clean generation growth met 81% of its own electricity demand increase for the year. Global solar capacity doubled from 1 TW in 2022 to 2 TW in 2024.
• Global electricity demand grew by 4.0% in 2024, significantly higher than the 2% growth in 2023. Heatwaves increased the demand for cooling, adding 208 TWh (0.7%) to global demand. This surge led to a 1.4% increase in fossil fuel electricity generation, resulting in record-high sector emissions of 14.6 billion tonnes of CO2. Without the impact of high temperatures, fossil fuel generation would have increased by only 0.2%, as clean energy met 99% of the demand not related to heatwaves.
• Future electricity demand is being driven by structural shifts, including electric vehicles, heat pumps, and data centers, which now contribute 0.7 to annual demand growth—more than double their contribution from five years ago. Ember projects that clean energy growth will be sufficient to meet demand even if it grows at 4.1% annually until 2030, particularly as China and India transition toward clean energy-led demand growth.
