🔎#Renewables capacity performance 2025: ⚡ 85.6% share of total power capacity expansion. 🌍 Persistent regional disparity ☀️Solar still leads the renewables growth Watch key highlights & see NEW @irena-official.bsky.social report: www.irena.org/Publications...

📢NEW: 2025 marks another record for installed renewable power capacity with almost 700 GW. Latest IRENA data proves renewables resilience amidst uncertain time, signalling countries to strengthen #energysecurity with domestic renewable sources. Read more📰: www.irena.org/News/pressre...

Stronger #energysecurity means less exposure to fuel shocks. Renewables provide stability, resilience and greater control through domestic resources.

From price volatility to supply risks, #energy systems face growing pressure. #Renewables are helping shift the balance towards greater stability & resilience.

Access to clean cooking is still off-track. Around 2.1 bn people, including 900 million in Africa, still rely on polluting fuels. New IRENA analysis zooms in on Tanzania, showing the importance of data for strategic financing decisions. Read the report: www.irena.org/Publications...

Clean cooking access remains a challenge for billions, esp. in Sub-Saharan Africa. As countries expand solutions like biogas, ethanol & electric cooking, improving affordability and managing existing fuels will be critical.
