Windtech International - Renewables set to overtake coal as global electricity demand rises
Global electricity demand is forecast to grow by 3.3% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026, according to the International Energy Agency. This growth rate is more than double that of overall energy demand. Renewables are expected to overtake coal as the largest source of electricity generation by 2025 or 2026, depending on weather and fuel prices.
A historic moment: Renewables to surpass coal as the largest source of global electricity in 2025 or 2026.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewables will overtake coal as the leading electricity source by 2025 or 2026 at the latest, depending on weather and economic conditions. The IEA report highlights this as a momentous milestone; once this is achieved, coal’s share of total electricity generation will drop below 33% for the first time in a century. Solar and wind energy are the main drivers of this change. The IEA forecasts t…


IEA: Renewables will be world’s top power source ‘by 2026’
Renewable energy will overtake coal to become the world’s top source of electricity “by 2026 at the latest”, according to new forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The rise of renewables is being driven by extremely rapid growth in wind and solar output, which topped 4,000 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 and will pass 6,000TWh by 2026. Wind and solar are increasingly under… Source
