2025 Marks Age of Electricity

The International Energy Agency reports that 2025 was an inflection year: solar PV added more absolute generation than any single source ever has in a non-rebound year, supplying over two‑thirds of increased electricity demand and doubling global solar output in three years. At the same time, electrification trends (EVs, heat pumps) are pushing electricity demand to grow faster than total energy demand. — If true, this signals a structural shift in energy geopolitics, climate mitigation prospects, industrial policy (siting, supply chains), and the pace of fossil‑fuel decline—policy and markets must adapt to a rapidly electrifying economy.
