المراجعة العالمية للكهرباء لعام 2026

The 2026 Global Electricity Review by Ember reports that record solar energy growth in 2025 met the entirety of new global electricity demand, halting the increase in fossil fuel generation for the first time since 2020. For the first time in the modern era, renewable energy sources collectively surpassed coal, accounting for over one-third of global electricity generation.

• In 2025, low-carbon electricity generation grew by 887 TWh, exceeding the global demand growth of 849 TWh. Solar energy alone met 75% of the net increase in demand, and combined with wind, the two sources covered approximately 99% of the increase. Consequently, fossil fuel generation decreased by 38 TWh (0.2%), marking the first year since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and only the fifth time this century that fossil fuel generation did not rise.
• Solar energy experienced its highest percentage growth rate in eight years, increasing by 636 TWh to reach 2,778 TWh in 2025 (a 30% increase from 2024). Solar generation has grown more than tenfold since 2015, when it was 256 TWh. In 2025, solar energy surpassed wind energy globally for the first time and is expected to surpass nuclear energy, along with wind, in 2026.
• For the first time in 100 years, renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, and others) surpassed coal in the global electricity mix, contributing 33.8% (10,710 TWh) of generation. Conversely, coal's share fell below one-third for the first time in history, with generation decreasing by 6 TWh (0.6%) in 2025.
• China and India both saw declines in fossil fuel electricity generation in 2025. China's fossil fuel generation decreased by 56 TWh (0.9%), the first drop since 2015. India's fossil fuel generation fell by 52 TWh (3.3%), ending a four-year period of growth following the COVID-19 recovery.
• Battery energy storage systems are expanding alongside solar capacity. In 2025, the cost of deploying batteries fell by 45% to reach approximately 250 GWh. Globally, battery capacity installed in 2025 was sufficient to shift 14% of new solar generation from midday to other hours. In Chile and Australia, grid-scale storage was sufficient to shift over 50% of new solar generation.
