Wind farms and solar power plants around the world produced more electricity than charcoal thermal power plants for the first time this year, marking a turning point in the global energy system.
The EMBER climate research center reveals that in the first six months of 2025. year renewable energy surpassed the growing world demand for electricity, which led to a mild falling in the use of coal and gas.
The world produced almost a third of several solar energy in the first half of the year in the same period in 2024, covering 83 percent of global electricity consumption.
The wind beargery increased by just over 7 percent, which enabled renewable sources to replace fossil fuels for the first time.
According to the words more electricity analysts in EMERE and the author’s report of the Małgorzate Wiatros-Motyke, this milestone represents a “key moment.”
– Solar and windener now grows fast enough to satisfy world demand for electricity. This means the beginning of the change in which pure energy is keeping up with the growth of consumption – it pointed out.
China and India were the most reliable for the increase in renewable sources, unlike the United States and Europe, which remained more dependent on fossil fuels.
A special report of the International Energy Agency (Iea) shows that the global renewable energy capacity could be more than doubled by the end of a decade, and 80 percent of the new capacity will come from solar energy
– The growth of global capacities of renewable sources in the coming years will lead the solar energy, but the wind, hydropower, bioenergy and geothermal energy play an important role – said the executive director of Iea Fatih Birol.
IEA states that China will remain the largest market for renewable sources, and India will take another place by the end of the decade.
– In addition to growth in already developed markets, solar energy is expected to grow abruptly in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and several Southeast Asia countries – Adds Birol.
In the European Union, electricity demand showed only a slight increase in the previous year, but there was a decline in the weather due to the weather that even the rapid solar energy growth by 14 percent and coal for 1.1 percent, Transfers the Guardian.
