2025 Top Five Power Generation Wind Power

Will wind power grow in 2025?

Wind power generation will grow moderately to 476 billion kWh in 2025, representing 11% increase, the EIA said, adding that wind capacity will stay relatively flat this year. Coal power generation, meanwhile, will likely fall 18% to 548 billion kWh in 2025 from 665 billion kWh in 2023.

Will wind power grow in 2023?

We expect that wind power generation will grow 11% from 430 billion kWh in 2023 to 476 billion kWh in 2025. In 2023, the U.S. electric power sector produced 4,017 billion kilowatthours (kWh) of electric power. Renewable sources—wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal—accounted for 22% of generation, or 874 billion kWh, last year.

Will renewable capacity meet 35% of global power generation by 2025?

Renewable capacity will meet 35% of global power generation by 2025, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The organization also says electricity demand is forecast to grow by 3% a year over the next three years compared to 2022, with a third of global consumption in China.

What is the largest source of electricity generation in 2025?

In 2025, renewables surpass coal to become the largest source of electricity generation. Wind and solar PV each surpass nuclear electricity generation in 2025 and 2026 respectively. In 2028, renewable energy sources account for over 42% of global electricity generation, with the share of wind and solar PV doubling to 25%.

Will solar power grow in 2025?

In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, we forecast that wind and solar energy will lead growth in U.S. power generation for the next two years. As a result of new solar projects coming on line this year, we forecast that U.S. solar power generation will grow 75% from 163 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2023 to 286 billion kWh in 2025.
