"Solar power led the charge, meeting three-quarters of the 849 TWh in new demand, while wind power met almost all the rest, indicating a significant shift towards low-emissions energy sources."
"Ember believes 2025 marked a turning point after which fossil fuels' share of the electricity market will shrink, with clean power expected to meet all growth in electricity demand."
"Rahmat Poudineh cautioned that while clean resources met extra demand, establishing a permanent trend requires validation under extreme conditions, as systems are designed for peak demand."
In 2025, low-emissions energy sources met all new global electricity demand, with solar power contributing significantly. Clean energy sources accounted for a record 42.6% of total electricity consumption. Ember predicts a decline in fossil fuel dominance, expecting their market share to drop by 10-20% by 2035. However, some experts caution that this trend needs to be validated under extreme conditions, as the current demand growth was not exceptional. The transition to clean energy is seen as structurally capable of meeting future demand increases.
