In 2025, clean power emerged as the world’s largest source of new energy capacity, marking a significant milestone in the global energy transition. Six key charts highlight this achievement by illustrating trends in renewable energy deployment, investment, and capacity additions across various technologies. Solar and wind power dominated new installations, driven by declining costs, technological advancements, and supportive policies worldwide. Hydropower and emerging clean energy sources also contributed, albeit to a lesser extent. The data reveal a steady increase in clean power’s share of total global energy capacity, surpassing fossil fuel expansions for the first time. Investment flows into renewables outpaced those into coal, oil, and natural gas, reflecting shifting market preferences and climate commitments. Regional analyses show strong growth in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, with developing economies accelerating their clean energy transitions. These charts collectively underscore the accelerating momentum of clean power in meeting rising energy demand while reducing carbon emissions. The trend signals a transformative shift towards sustainable energy systems, crucial for achieving global climate goals and fostering energy security.
