Dozens of large-scale solar, wind, and storage projects will come online worldwide in 2025, representing several gigawatts of new capacity. The Oasis de Atacama in Chile will be the world's largest storage-plus-solar project. Video used courtesy of Grenergy. We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48.6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest. . As we wrap up the year, global renewables remain on a strong upward trajectory — with solar PV clearly leading the transition — but the International Energy Agency (IEA) warns that grid bottlenecks, policy uncertainty, and market design will increasingly shape what happens next. The latest IEA. . Solar and wind not only kept pace with global electricity demand growth, they surpassed it across a sustained period for the first time, signalling that clean power is now steering the direction of the global energy system.
