Introduction

Worldwide, 380 GW of new solar capacity was installed in the first half of this year, marking a 64% increase from 2024, when 232 GW was installed in the same timeframe, according to a report from the clean energy think tank Ember. 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. The US solar industry installed 7.5 gigawatts direct current (GW dc) of capacity in Q2 2025, a 24% decline from Q2 2024 and a 28% decrease since Q1 2025. Solar accounted for 56% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid in the first half of 2025, with a total of 18 GW. China led the pack in solar installations, adding 256 GW – more than twice as much solar capacity as the rest of the world combined.

At the end of 2024, global renewable power capacity amounted to 4 448 GW. Solar, in line with the previous year, accounted for the largest share of the global total, with a capacity of 1 865 GW. Renewable hydropower1 and wind energy accounted for most of the remainder, with total capacities of 1. India installed over 341 MWh of battery energy storage capacity in 2024, a more than sixfold increase from the 51 MWh added in 2023, according to VSB Group Commissions One of Europe''s Largest Repowering Projects The VSB Group has successfully connected the repowered Repowering Wind Farm Elster to. GW = gigawatts; PV = photovoltaics; STEPS = Stated Policies Scenario; NZE = Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. Other storage includes compressed air energy storage, flywheel and thermal storage. Hydrogen electrolysers are not included. Global installed energy storage capacity by scenario, 2023.
