Solar Surge Propels Renewables to 50% Milestone, Yet Coal Rebound Clouds Climate Outlook
재생에너지 50% 달성했지만, 화석연료 부활과 AI 전력 수요가 기후 목표를 흔든다
Why it matters
Renewable energy reached nearly half of global electricity capacity in 2025, driven by record solar installations and 692 GW of new capacity. However, the momentum masks critical headwinds: fossil fuel additions rebounded sharply after 2024, and surging AI datacenter power demand threatens to offset renewable gains. While the energy transition is clearly accelerating, the pace may fall short of meeting global climate commitments.
