IEA, a France-based intergovernmental energy organization, has reported that global energy demand grew 1.3% in 2025. The growth was below the previous decade’s 1.4% average, while electricity demand increased around 3% worldwide. Solar PV became the largest contributor to global energy supply growth, accounting for more than 25% of the increase. The solar addition also helped reduce coal-fired electricity generation globally, according to IEA’s review. Natural gas followed with 17%, while renewables and nuclear met nearly 60% of global demand growth. Solar generation added 600 TWh worldwide, the largest single-year structural rise for any electricity technology. BESS added roughly 110 GWs, exceeding the largest-ever annual capacity additions for natural gas. Energy-related CO2 emissions rose around 0.4%, while China’s emissions declined and India’s emissions remained flat. Electric car sales increased by over 20% to more than 20 million units, limiting road fuel demand.
