Here's a sneaky peak the next release of the GB Renewables Map, or should I say the GB Not Just a Renewables Map… That's right, all types of power assets are coming to the map! Plus a whole bunch of other improvements.

India's solar is making a solid contribution to daily generation, even in the middle of winter. (In fact the insolation minimum is during the monsoon season.)

Africa recorded its fastest solar growth on record in 2025, driven by a surge in utility-scale projects

Africa Solar Capacity Seen Rising Sixfold After 2025 Record

Africa recorded its fastest solar growth on record in 2025, driven by a surge in utility-scale projects, and could add more than six times last year’s annual capacity by 2029, according to a new industry report.

🔆China electricity consumption to grow 5%-6% in 2026 said China Electricity Council in its latest 2025-2026 analysis and outlook report For 2026, it also expects power peak load to rise to 1570-1630 GW, and Solar capacity to take over Coal

Does India really need new coal plants—or can clean power additions and higher utilisation of existing fossil capacity do the job?

Bloomberg Opinion@opinion.bloomberg.com · 7mo ago

Power consumption in emerging economies is growing at a headlong pace, so renewables will have to move fast just to keep up

Always an interesting compilation. The battery storage headlines particularly eye catching!

India’s 2025 renewable power build was impressive⚡ ☀️ 38 GW solar 🌬️ 6.5 GW wind 🌊 4 GW large hydro Solar +55%, wind +85% above the previous record year (2024). Coal also set for a bumper year: already +7 GW added by November, with December data still to come cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s3716e1b8c6c...

from giga to terawatts on the y-axis in this latest forecast, a sure sign of progress! about.bnef.com/insights/cle...

India’s total electricity generation up just ~1% in 2025 and record solar+wind deployment (+35GW/6GW as of November). Extra solar+wind, plus strong monsoon hydro, more than covered the total generation increase, and pushed coal generation down 3%. Hasn't fallen like that before (outside Covid era)

1. To opinions! Solar is the cheapest source of bulk electricity in many countries, and the quickest to deploy, and now you couldn't stop it being built if you wanted to. The limits to PV build in most places are grid access, permitting, and sometimes installation labour.

A crystal ball for solar in China? The production minus exports of solar cells tends to predict new installations with a lag. While installations predictably slumped since May with new pricing policy, production has been strong for two months, suggesting pick up in installations.

New from us: India's power sector emissions fell for only the 2nd time in half a century, due to both economic and weather factors and record clean energy growth. The current drop is unlikely to be sustained but clean energy projects in the pipeline can peak power sector emissions well before 2030.

Coal generation would be even lower if hydroelectricity wasn’t going through another of its drought years (though rainfall in August was a little better than the terrible numbers in July): www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Beijing has managed to keep its emissions under control. Years of drought are threatening to undo that progress.

Increasingly, during the tail end of summer, electricity on India’s power grid is getting sourced mainly by solar, wind, and hydro for an hour or two around midday. I don’t think that’s happened before in India

Coal continues to lose ground in China’s power mix, dropping its monthly share to historic low of 51% in June 2025. But still new coal plants are permitted and built, 21 gigawatts in first half of 2025. More here 🔽
