I bet, we are dealing here with a lot of wishful thinking and data manipulation! More propaganda than fact?
Was the solar+wind power generated electricity actually used?
The vague language of the news reports does not distinguish capacity from generation or private household generation from commercial generation etc. I have some serious doubts about the claims of such enormous solar power generation growth as stated by Ember!
What exactly is included in the euphemistically and falsely called "clean energy"?
Who funds the think tank Ember?
Ember vision/mission statement: "We’re a global energy think tank that aims to accelerate the clean energy [???] transition with data and policy"
"“Record growth in solar, especially in China and India, was a driving factor for clean energy sources [???] surpassing the world’s strong demand for electricity in 2025, according to a new global power analysis.
Clean power generation [???] grew 887 terawatt hours last year, exceeding overall global electricity demand growth of 849 terawatt hours, according to a report by energy think tank Ember, released after midnight Tuesday London time.”"
"... Together with growth in other clean sources, this solar surge drove clean power to meet all global electricity demand growth in 2025. Solar alone met three-quarters (75%) of the increase, while solar and wind together met almost all of it (99%).
In total, clean generation rose by 887 TWh, slightly exceeding demand growth of 849 TWh. As a result, fossil generation fell by 0.2%, making 2025 only the fifth year this century without growth in fossil electricity. ..."
Renewable energies overtook global electricity demand last year, led by solar growth in China, India
