The 2026 Global Electricity Review reports that in 2025, clean energy growth—driven primarily by solar power—met 100% of new global electricity demand, resulting in the first year since 2020 where fossil fuel generation did not increase. For the first time in the modern era, renewables exceeded coal, accounting for over one-third of global electricity generation. This shift was significantly influenced by declines in fossil fuel generation in China and India, both of which saw decreases in 2025. Solar energy's growth was 18 times greater than that of gas, and the deployment of battery storage is increasingly supporting the transition to 24/7 clean power, with countries like Chile and Australia leading in grid-scale storage.

  • In 2025, clean energy growth was sufficient to meet the entire increase in global electricity demand, preventing any increase in fossil fuel generation for the first time since 2020 and only the fifth time this century.
  • Renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, and others) surpassed coal in the global electricity mix for the first time in 100 years, with renewables exceeding 33.8% of generation while coal fell below one-third.
  • Solar energy acted as the primary driver of change, meeting 75% of the net increase in electricity demand in 2025. Its growth rate was 18 times higher than that of gas, the only fossil fuel to see an increase in 2025.
  • China and India both experienced declines in fossil fuel electricity generation in 2025, marking the first time this century that both countries saw a decrease simultaneously.
  • The deployment of battery energy storage systems is accelerating to enable 24/7 clean power; in 2025, the world installed enough battery capacity to shift 25% of new solar generation from midday to other hours.
