Solar Surpasses Wind In Global Electricity Generation For The First Time

In 2007, nearly two decades ago, I wrote an article called “The Future Is Solar.” At the time, my argument was largely based on efficiency.

  • Solar surpassed wind as the top global electricity source in 2025.
  • Solar's share grew 30.1%, nearly three times wind's 8.2% growth.
  • China led solar production with 1,173 TWh, followed by the U.S. and India.
