Solar’s exponential rise continues as it overtakes wind

Solar power increased from 2,143 TWh in 2024 to 2,778 TWh in 2025, a 30% increase and the highest growth rate in eight years despite a much higher base.

@ChristopherRandles wild off the chart here

How will you determine the value from the ember-climate datasets?
I browsed around on the website for a bit and couldn't find the value YTD.

@EstMtz Presumably quarterly reports like
https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/q3-global-power-report-no-fossil-fuel-growth-expected-in-2025/

Shows it at 2109 for first 3 quarters and projection is 2713

Or maybe from
https://ember-energy.org/data/monthly-electricity-data/
monthly electricity data - long format csv
includes world totals (search for "Region,,,,,,,,Electricity generation,Fuel,Solar,TWh")

So seems like there has been small upward adjustment from 2109 to 2118 for first 3 quarters and around 2700 still seems a sensible projection.

I've updated the title to accommodate users who don't read descriptions, who it has recently come to my attention do exist.
