Record-breaking solar generation in 2025 points to ‘structural changes’ in global energy mix

“What we’re seeing is that the generation increases—these record increases—are the results of structural changes in the power system,” he explains. “They’re the result of capacity build-out.” The figures from the report are encouraging reading for the solar industry. The world added a record 636TWh of new solar PV generation in 2025, up from 331TWh […]
