Indicators in solar and wind energy grow quickly enough to satisfy the growing world demand for electricity. The growth of the use of renewable energy: the head of the UN urged the countries to “take advantage of the historical opportunity” The climate and the environment amid the growth of pure energy indicators, the UN Secretary General Antoniu Gutherrish again called on the countries to speed up the transition from fossil fuel causing global warming. His words sounded after the publication of two reports on Tuesday, confirming that the “revolution of renewable energy” is an unprecedented pace.
For the first time in history, renewable sources produced more electricity than coal, according to a new report from Ember, a think tank that works to accelerate the clean energy transition.
Energy transition in action
In the first half of this year, solar and wind power output outpaced global electricity demand growth, resulting in a slight decline in the share of coal and gas compared with the same period in 2024.
This was a “key inflection point,” said Ember senior energy analyst Małgorzata Wiatros-Motyka.
“Solar and wind power are now growing fast enough to meet growing global demand for electricity. “This marks the beginning of a phase where clean energy is keeping pace with demand growth,” she said.
Solar is a growth engine
In another report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said installed capacity renewable energy capacity continues to grow and will double by 2030.
The agency forecasts that global renewable energy capacity will increase by 4,600 gigawatts – “about the same as the total installed capacity of China, the European Union and Japan combined taken.”
Growth is provided primarily by the rapid development of solar photoelectric technology that converts sunlight into energy: it will have about 80 percent of growth, follow the wind, hydropower, bioenergy and geothermal energy. ~ 60 > 60 > commenting on this news, UN Secretary General Antoniu Guterres wrote in social networks:“ The future of pure energy is no longer a distant promise – it has already come. ” “To take this historical opportunity and give a global transition to the best future for everyone a new dynamics.”
