What Happened
Low-emissions energy sources met all new global electricity demand in 2025 for the first time, according to energy think tank Ember. Solar power led the expansion, providing three-quarters of 849 TWh in new demand, while wind power covered most remaining growth. Low-emissions sources generated record 42.6 percent of global electricity consumption. Ember predicts fossil fuels' market share will decline significantly by 2035.
