Renewable Energy Breakthrough: In the first quarter of 2025, the installed capacity of wind and solar power reached 1. In 2025, the share of renewables in Germany's net public electricity generation amounted to 55. Wind power took first place as the strongest net electricity producer, followed by photovoltaics, which in-creased its production by 21 percent in 2025 and overtook. In 2025, global annual renewable capacity additions increased by 16%, reaching 800 GW despite challenges linked to supply chain strains, grid connection delays, financial pressures and policy shifts. 3 percentage points (pp) decrease (from 46. 482 billion kilowatts, surpassing thermal power capacity for the first time, which stood at 1. This marked a significant milestone as wind and solar power. Global renewable power capacity is expected to double between now and 2030, increasing by 4 600 gigawatts (GW). Solar PV accounts for almost 80% of the global.
