EU wind funding drives sevenfold returns Each €1 of public funding for wind delivers €7 annually to Europe’s economy by 2040, according to a study by Trinomics. The study said targeted EU support for wind innovation and industrial scale-up would generate major economic and energy security benefits. It added that a proposed €11.6bn Wind Fund would support the full value chain, with around €9bn allocated to manufacturing capacity. The analysis found the funding could add €33bn per year in gross value to the EU economy and support 180,000 additional jobs. It also projected a €12.6bn annual increase in EU wind equipment exports and retention of up to 89% of value within Europe. It found that Chinese turbine manufacturers have received between two and five times more public support, enabling faster scaling and stronger global competition. The report argued that earmarking funding in the next EU budget would strengthen supply chains, boost competitiveness and reduce dependence on imported fuels.

Wind leads Ireland electricity mix in April Wind was the largest contributor to Ireland’s electricity mix in April, accounting for 38% of total generation. Renewable sources delivered 48% of electricity during the month, including 6% from grid-scale solar. This marks the third consecutive month where renewables met around half of electricity demand. Total generation from wind reached 1,078GWh, while grid-scale solar contributed 163GWh in April. This compares with 761GWh of wind and 119GWh of solar in April 2025. Gas accounted for 35% of electricity generation, while 16% was imported via interconnection. Overall electricity demand stood at 2,865GWh in April, down from 3,142GWh in March. April also saw a new record for solar generation, exceeding 1GW for the first time and reaching a peak of 1,133MW.

Growth of Renewable Energy in US Defies Trump Administration’s Attacks Despite the Trump administration’s relentless efforts to increase production of planet-warming fossil fuels, renewable energy continued to rise across the US, reaching 26% of generated electricity in 2025. Around 26% of power in the country came from renewables, enough to power 108 million homes for an entire year. By the end of 2025, renewables accounted for 33.2% of utility-scale capacity – energy projects designed to generate electricity for the power grid rather than individual consumers. A February forecast from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) show that generating capacity will reach record highs this year, with 93% of new capacity additions coming from solar, wind and batteries. This builds on a decades-long shift in the US energy mix, which has seen coal production in steady decline, falling by 53% between 2000 and 2024.

The energy crisis fueled by the Iran war has made the economic logic of renewables impossible to ignore, according to UN Climate Change. Latest developments are supercharging the global renewables boom. The war between the US and Israel against Iran caused disruptions in the production and transportation of crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Middle East, so their prices surged. The conflict has led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the corridor for 20% of the world’s crude oil and 20% of liquefied natural gas (LNG). At the same time, sales of renewable energy equipment and electric vehicles have increased. Renewables offer safer, cheaper, cleaner energy that can’t be held captive by narrow shipping straits or global conflicts. That’s why so many governments are pushing renewables plans into overdrive: to restore national security, economic stability, competitiveness, policy autonomy and basic sovereignty. France is doubling funding for electrification, while China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Germany, the UK, and more have been clear that pushing forward with the renewables transition is a cornerstone of energy security.

US renewable capacity set for 80GW rise Utility-scale solar, wind and battery storage are projected to add more than 80GW of new generating capacity in the US by February 2027. Renewable energy’s share of total utility-scale capacity is expected to rise from 33.4% to 36.6% over the period, the US Energy Information Administration ('EIA') said. Solar will add 42,628.6MW while wind will grow by 14,507.4MW including 4,155.0MW of offshore capacity, the agency added. The combined capacity growth of renewables of 57,452.7MW is almost 75% higher than the 32,988.9MW added in the previous 12 months. By contrast, no new nuclear capacity is forecast while fossil fuel capacity is projected to decline by 4,903.2MW. Utility-scale battery storage is expected to increase by 51.4% from 44,630.7MW to 67,549.6MW. Including estimated solar additions, renewables’ share of installed capacity could reach 39.7% while natural gas falls from 40.0% to 38.3%. Electricity generation from renewables rose by 10.8% in January and February 2026, accounting for 26.0% of total output compared with 23.6% a year earlier.

China's renewable energy capacity reaches 2.4 bln kW by end-March China's renewable energy sector continued its rapid expansion in the first quarter of 2026, with new installations accounting for the vast majority of overall power capacity growth, according to a press briefing on Monday by the National Energy Administration. Renewable energy capacity continued its steady growth, further optimizing China's energy structure. By the end of March, total installed renewable energy capacity reached approximately 2.4 billion kilowatts, accounting for more than 60% of the national total. Combined wind and solar capacity stood at around 1.9 billion kilowatts, approaching half of the country's overall installed capacity, said Pan Huimin, deputy head of the NEA's new and renewable energy department. Electricity generation from renewable sources increased steadily, providing strong support for overall power supply. In the first quarter, nationwide renewable generation reached 882.9 billion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 37.1% of total electricity output.

Output from solar farms rose by a third while electricity from fossil fuels fell, research from thinktank reveals All of last year’s growth in global electricity demand was met from renewable sources, while fossil fuel power generation remained flat, research has found, marking what many hope could become a turning point in the drive to phase out planet-heating fossil fuels. Solar power generation rose by nearly a third in 2025, marking a new record and faster growth. In the decade from 2015, solar output grew tenfold, roughly doubling every three years, according to the thinktank Ember. More than half of the increase came from China, which has surged ahead in renewable energy and is also the world’s biggest exporter of clean energy components. Solar power met three-quarters of the increase in electricity demand in 2025, with the remainder mostly met by wind power. Electricity generation from fossil fuels fell by 0.2%.

Renewable energy gets an Iran war boost Early signs are emerging that the energy shock could aid the global spread of renewable power, batteries, electric cars and other climate-friendly tech. Why it matters: The throttling of oil and gas transit - together with higher prices - has short- and long-term consequences for use and economics of different fuels. Driving the news: Very early data disputes the conventional wisdom that coal - the most carbon dioxide-emitting fuel - is a winner, per the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, a research group. Instead, global power generation from fossil fuels was down in the first month of the war. Solar and wind power was up, as renewables offset more of the decline in gas-fired power than coal did. State of play: Only Japan and South Korea saw "significant increases" in coal-fired generation. India and South Africa were among the nations to register big drops. The EU, Japan, UK, India, Germany and others saw year-over-year jumps in wind or solar in March.

Renewable energy sets new US record, beating gas on the grid for the first time in month of March It’s the first time renewables have bested the fossil fuel in the US across an entire month. Meanwhile, emissions-free sources, a category that includes both renewables and nuclear, produced more than half of the nation’s electricity. It’s just the third time that’s happened across an entire month, the first instance being last March. Sure, renewables only beat gas across a short time frame. And, yes, March is the start of the spring shoulder season, when electricity demand falls a bit from its winter highs and renewables tend to outperform. Just five years ago, the gap between gas and even the best months for renewables was yawning. Since then, that gap has narrowed, thanks in large part to the rapid expansion of solar and the steady growth of wind power.

South Korea plans to raise renewable energy’s share of electricity generation to at least 20% by 2030 as it seeks to reduce dependence on imported energy and meet increasing power demand from advanced industries. The country’s Minister of Climate, Energy and Environment, Kim Sung-hwan, presented the plan to the Cabinet. The minister set a target of expanding renewable energy capacity to 100GW by 2030, with solar and wind power expected to drive the increase. Renewable sources made up 11.4% of the country’s electricity generation last year. The government also plans to close 60 coal-fired power plants by 2040 as part of a wider shift in the energy mix. Alongside changes in power generation, the strategy includes support for technologies such as solar modules, battery energy storage systems and wind turbines. The plan also covers reductions in industrial emissions.

Nearly Half the World’s Power Capacity Is Now Renewable - What That Really Means The numbers landing from the new International Renewable Energy Agency report, “Renewable Capacity Statistics 2026,” show significant and encouraging progress. A record 692 GW of renewable energy capacity was added globally in 2025, pushing total worldwide renewable power capacity to 5.14 terawatts - 49% of global installed power capacity. That 49% measures the size of renewable infrastructure - the panels, turbines, and dams that exist and could, in theory, run at full power simultaneously. Solar energy accounted for 511 GW of the 692 GW added - roughly 75% of all new renewable capacity and a record for a single calendar year, surpassing 2024’s previous high of 585 GW by 18,3%. Wind contributed 159 GW. Between them, solar and wind made up nearly all new renewable capacity added last year - and the reason is straightforward: they are now the cheapest options available.

Britain sets new wind generation record Great Britain has set a new wind generation record, producing 23GW of electricity on 25 March. The National Energy System Operator said the peak between 13:30 and 14:00 surpassed the previous record of 23.825GW set in December. The operator added that combined wind and solar generation reached 34GW earlier in the day, reducing gas-fired output to 1358MW. Gas accounted for just 2.3% of the power mix at the time, marking its lowest level since April 2024. Wind power alone supplied 53.5% of electricity generation during the record period. Low-carbon sources now generate around 60% of Britain’s electricity, up from 3% in 2000. This is a world-leading record, showing that our national electricity system can run safely and securely on large quantities of renewables generated right here in Britain. We’ve come on leaps and bounds in wind generation in recent years. It really shows what is possible, and I look forward to seeing if we can hit another clean energy milestone in the months ahead: running Britain’s electricity grid entirely zero carbon.

Energy fallout from Iran war signals a global wake-up call for renewable energy The war in Iran is exposing the world’s reliance on fragile fossil fuel routes, lending urgency to calls for hastening the shift to renewable energy. Fighting has all but halted oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that carries about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, or LNG. The disruption has jolted energy markets, pushing up prices and straining import-dependent economies. Asia, where most of the oil was headed, has been hit hardest, but the disruptions also are a strain for Europe, where policymakers are looking for ways to cut energy demand, and for Africa, which is bracing for rising fuel costs and inflation. Unlike during previous oil shocks, renewable power is now competitive with fossil fuels in many places. More than 90% of new renewable power projects worldwide in 2024 were cheaper than fossil-fuel alternatives.

47% of EU’s electricity came from renewables in 2025 In 2025, 47.3% of the electricity generated in the EU came from renewable energy sources. Wind was the primary source of renewable electricity in the EU, accounting for 37.5% of the total. Solar power came in second with 27.5%, followed by hydro with 25.9%. The remaining renewable electricity came from combustible renewable fuels (8.5%) and geothermal and other energy sources (0.5%). Compared with 2024, solar power was the fastest-growing source, with a 24.6% increase in 2025. In contrast, electricity generation from hydro power decreased by 11.8%. Among EU countries, the highest shares of electricity from renewable sources were generated in Denmark (92.4%, mostly wind), Austria (83.1%, mostly hydro) and Portugal (82.9%, mostly hydro and wind). In contrast, the lowest shares were recorded in Malta (16.2%), Czechia (16.6%) and Slovakia (17.8%).

The amount of installed renewable power is forecast to more than double by 2030 Renewable sources of electricity generation are continuing to grow strongly around the world, with global capacity expected to more than double by 2030, according to the IEA’s latest medium-term forecast. Led by the rapid rise of solar PV. Renewables 2025, the IEA’s main annual report on the sector, sees global renewable power capacity increasing by 4 600 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 – roughly the equivalent of adding China, the European Union and Japan’s total power generation capacity combined. Solar PV will account for around 80% of the global increase in renewable power capacity over the next five years – driven by low costs and faster permitting timeframes – followed by wind, hydro, bioenergy and geothermal. Geothermal installations are on course to hit historic highs in key markets, including the United States, Japan, Indonesia and a host of emerging and developing economies.

Ireland reaches 8GW renewable electricity capacity Ireland has reached 8GW of installed renewable electricity generation capacity, marking a milestone in the country’s energy transition. Climate, energy and environment minister Darragh O’Brien said the figure confirmed Ireland’s progress in expanding homegrown renewable electricity. The government said policy support, grid upgrades and new project development will continue to drive renewable deployment, investment and jobs. At this time of global energy uncertainty and rising prices, expanding renewable capacity is not only good for the climate – it is essential for delivering long-term energy security and price stability for households and businesses. Surpassing 8 GW of renewable electricity generation connected to the electricity network is a major milestone.
