Absolutely disgusting.

Latest briefing from our Global Solar and Wind Power Trackers reveal that more than 60% of prospective solar and wind capacity in Africa is for hydrogen production.

One of MANY new solar projects we're adding to the Global Solar Power Tracker in February 2026. Stade Abdoulaye Wade Stadium in Senegal. That's pretty cool 😎 maps.app.goo.gl/UdFixfsXXQYj...

IEA (@iea.org) reported that annual solar PV capacity additions average 540 GW to 2035 in the Current Policies Scenario (CPS). The chart below illustrates the estimated trend through 2050 ☀️💡 Read more: www.iea.org/reports/worl...

Latest from Reuters using @globalenergymon.bsky.social data! Two-thirds of new power projects are solar & wind 🌞💨 Around 950 GW of clean capacity is being built—345 GW of that from solar alone. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

A nice portrait of IEA's (@iea.org) Executive Director Fatih Birol -- “the world’s most boring man” - in The New York Times today. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/c...

E3G (@e3g.bsky.social) reported that solar and wind accounted for 87% of new capacity additions in 2024, while coal made up just 3%! ☀️💡 www.e3g.org/publications...

According to the latest UN NDC Synthesis Report, updated pledges from 64 countries cover about 30% of global emissions and would cut emissions by only 17% below 2019 levels by 2035. The report highlights the need for more ambitious climate targets.

Africa gets more sunshine than anywhere else on Earth, yet it had just 21.5 gigawatts of installed solar capacity in 2024. By comparison, China added 198 gigawatts between January and May this year alone ☀️💡 edition.cnn.com/world/africa...

Just read this piece by @oykusenlen.bsky.social — brilliant! Türkiye’s #COP31 bid rings hollow without stronger ambition. Cutting solar + wind goals from 120GW to 82GW by 2035 risks missing a huge opportunity. Restoring bold renewables goals would show real leadership ☀️💡 www.e3g.org/news/turkiye...

Global energy storage is projected to grow 23% year-over-year in 2025, according to BloombergNEF. China & the U.S. remain dominant, but emerging markets are scaling up as they plan for decarbonized grids. #Storage #EnergyTransition www.edie.net/global-energ...

The OECD reported that solar generation increased 22.1% YoY, reaching 119.2 TWh. Solar accounts for 11.6% of total generation right now. 🇹🇷 Türkiye led Europe’s solar surge with a 46.3% increase (+1.7 TWh) — the region’s biggest absolute gain. #Solar #Renewables #Türkiye #OECD #CleanEnergy

IRENA's latest report reveals that global renewables hit a record 582 GW added in 2024 — a 15% increase — but we’re slightly off pace to triple capacity by 2030. Francesco La Camera told Reuters the target remains within reach with the right momentum. 💡⚡️ www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

CAN International published the Renewable Energy Tracker report today. There's a great discussion on how distributed solar provides direct benefits to people and eases pressure on land. There's so much untapped potential for rooftop PV ☀️💡 #JustTransition Report: climatenetwork.org/resource/ren...

A new Nature article using GEM data (@globalenergymon.bsky.social) found that the top 250 oil and gas firms own just 2% of the world's renewable power. #renewables 💡🧪 Article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Over the next five years, we'll add 4,600 GW of renewables — equal to all power in China, the EU, and Japan combined. Nearly 80% will come from solar PV, as rooftops & off-grid systems boom worldwide. TL;DR: Solar’s moving fast — really fast. ☀️

IEA's (@iea.org) Renewables 2025 report is out. This year, solar PV is expected to account for almost 80% of all new renewable power capacity worldwide — maintaining its dominant lead. Another record year ahead: 750–840 GW total renewables, driven by the sun. ☀️💡 Report: www.iea.org/reports/rene...

Bloomberg says AI data centers are driving up U.S. wholesale power prices — in some regions, electricity now costs up to 267% more than it did five years ago. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The Former Vice President Al Gore: “Of all the new electricity installed in the world last year, 93% was renewables, mostly solar.” #ClimateWeekNYC @climaterealityproject.org @globalenergymon.bsky.social

Project Drawdown’s (@projectdrawdown.bsky.social) new free portal Drawdown Explorer fills a significant gap by turning climate science into actionable insights! Excited to dig in after #ClimateWeekNYC! Great presentation and launch by @globalecoguy.bsky.social 👏 @globalenergymon.bsky.social

Starting the second day of the #ClimateWeekNYC at the Nest Climate Campus! Ping me if you are around!

Great discussion on timely climate communications at CET’s Moving from Data to Dialogue to Doing panel. “It’s like reminding someone about a seatbelt 5 seconds before driving, not 5 minutes earlier.” How do we bring that urgency to the energy transition? @globalenergymon.bsky.social

First day of #ClimateWeekNYC with @globalenergymon.bsky.social! I’m excited to follow several events on renewables, energy transition, and environmental justice 🌍 I’ll post my reflections and highlights throughout the week!!

A #JustTransition is only possible if renewable energy companies respect human rights. Our latest research on 35 leading companies shows the sector is making progress on respect for rights & shared prosperity – but major gaps remain.

Community solar is key to passing the benefits of solar energy to renters and homeowners without the means to invest in rooftop solar. ILSR (@ilsr.bsky.social) tracks the steady increase in community solar programs across the US ☀️☀️ ilsr.org/articles/com...

SEIA & Wood Mackenzie reported that Solar and Storage dominate new power additions in H1 2025. Solar accounted for 56% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid. Combined, solar and storage accounted for 82% of new capacity in the first half of the year.

Gavin's analysis is interesting! Solar’s pipeline is shrinking. 🌞 U.S. developers have lowered planned solar capacity from ~112 GW in 2024 to ~92 GW in 2025. Solar still makes up a big slice of the future grid—but policy shifts, higher costs & grid bottlenecks are slowing growth.

High costs and long timelines have stalled nuclear power worldwide. Nearly 40% of all nuclear projects ever proposed have been cancelled — 566 GW in total, more than the world’s entire operating & retired fleets combined. Learn more in our latest analysis: globalenergymonitor.org/report/nucle...

I just read this brilliant article on @carbonbrief.org by @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social and @mollylempriere.carbonbrief.org 👏👏👏 ❌ Solar power is an ‘unreliable source of energy’ ❌ Solar power is ‘a serious threat to agriculture and food security’ interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...

USEIA reported that the United States added 12 GW of utility-scale solar in the first half of 2025, and another 21 GW is planned to become operational by year’s end. Solar will make up over half of the 64 GW of new capacity coming online this year. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

A fast energy transition doesn't always mean just energy transition. Communities living near power plants must share benefits, not just burdens! www.bbc.com/news/article...

In the first five months of 2025, renewables led the way in OECD electricity generation, accounting for 358.5 TWh (41.7% of total), narrowly surpassing fossil fuels. Nuclear supplied 16.5%. From @iea.org: www.iea.org/data-and-sta...

Oh, one more thing. It's not about using our land efficiently or for better things. They are also cancelling programs supporting low- and moderate-income families to install rooftop solar. These projects don't require a dedicated space! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/c...

Also, "ugly monsters"?? They should've made Samuel L. Jackson say that in this commercial! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bunG...

"Energy density" is the newest criteria to selectively halt wind and solar projects. I might know a thing or two about spatial planning, and let me tell you. WE HAVE ENOUGH LAND TO HOST RENEWABLES. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/c...

Australians are investing in solar and home batteries at an unprecedented rate. Australian households with solar + battery setups save more on their bills than regular customers and customers with just solar. Solar 🤝 Storage www.accc.gov.au/about-us/pub...

The @iea.org estimates show that wind and solar PV are expected to cover over 90% of the increase in global electricity demand in 2025. After exceeding the 4,000 TWh mark in 2024, wind and solar PV generation are set to surpass 5,000 TWh in 2025 and 6,000 TWh in 2026 ☀️💨 www.iea.org/reports/elec...

This is a striking map showing 26 clean energy manufacturing projects (totaling $27.6b investment and ~19k jobs) have been paused, canceled, or closed in the last 6 months. Projects are stalling 6x more than the same time in 2024, 30x more than in 2023! www.the-big-green-machine.com/post-trump-s...

Spain is leading Europe in prospective utility-scale solar and wind capacity, and the country plans to launch a +$550 million subsidy program to support the domestic manufacturing of clean energy technologies. www.pv-tech.org/spain-to-inv...

I had a very good question on why it takes so long to collect energy data from @lowcarbondave.bsky.social and @dangrey.bsky.social and I was able to ramble about the importance of data transparency in a short thread! #solar #renewables #climatechange #datascience

U.S. retail electricity prices hit record highs in 2025. GOP blames Biden’s clean energy push for it. However, some states supporting renewable energy saw prices fall, while anti-renewable energy states saw prices rise. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

China and the EU just pledged to team up to fight global warming, calling the Paris Agreement "the cornerstone of international climate cooperation." Notice anyone missing from the conversation? The U.S. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/c...

The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for renewables has been declining since 2010. @irena-official.bsky.social reported that 91% of newly commissioned utility-scale renewable capacity delivered power at a lower cost than the cheapest fossil fuel-based alternative!! www.irena.org/Publications...

I am super late in updating my Warming Stripes this year in my cover pictures. I remembered that after seeing them on a wall at the MoMA last week. @edhawkins.org #ShowYourStripes

According to @carbonbrief.org's new analysis, China’s 2024 solar-panel exports (plus related investments) are set to avoid 280 Mt CO₂ annually ☀️ www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

The IRENA Coalition for Action's report underlines that a 100% renewable energy system by 2050 is realistic, cost-effective, and key to meeting Paris Agreement goals — using technologies we already have. coalition.irena.org/-/media/File...
