Global Energy Transition Accelerates as Renewables Surpass Fossil Fuels
In a historic shift, renewable energy has overtaken fossil fuels in global power generation, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing energy transition. The year 2025 has witnessed a record-breaking surge in clean energy deployment, with solar, wind, hydro, and other renewables accounting for over 52% of global electricity production, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Technology at the Heart of the Transition
The global shift toward renewable energy has been largely driven by rapid advancements in clean energy technologies. From high-efficiency solar panels to next-generation wind turbines and smart grid systems, innovations have drastically lowered costs and improved energy output, making renewables more competitive than ever.
One of the most notable contributors to this acceleration is solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. The cost of solar PV modules has declined by more than 80% over the past decade due to improvements in materials science, manufacturing processes, and economies of scale.…
