Renewables to overtake coal as largest global electricity source in 2025

Teslarati

While more effort is needed to reach that goal, one energy organization has predicted that renewables will overtake coal generation as the world’s largest electricity source in early 2025. Solar PV and wind account for 95 percent of the predicted 7,300 GW renewable expansion between 2023 and 2028. In the U.S.,

China’s battery storage capacity growth likely to slow in 2024 – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Growth in China’s battery storage capacity could slow down in 2024, according to an industry association, as energy storage struggles with low profitability. Grid-connected battery farms back up renewables when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing and are considered important to help integrate clean energy into power grids.
