According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, solar and wind paired with battery storage provide reliable, cost-effective 24/7 electricity. In prime regions, hybrid renewable systems deliver continuous power at lower costs than fossil fuels.
Solar has become the leading source of new electricity generation, supported by battery storage that is beginning to provide system flexibility at scale, says the latest Global Electricity Review from Ember.
China’s installed power capacity reached 3.96 billion kW by March 2026, up 15.5 per cent year on year, driven by rapid renewable growth, with solar capacity jumping 31.3 per cent and wind rising 22.4 per cent.
TotalEnergies and Masdar will form a $2.2 billion 50/50 joint venture merging onshore renewables across nine Asian countries, combining assets to reach 3 GW operational capacity and 6 GW in development by 2030.
An Irena brief says renewables are improving energy security during the crisis by reducing fossil fuel dependence, with record capacity growth, falling costs, and battery-backed wind and solar delivering cheaper, more resilient 24/7 power.
In 2025, 47.3 per cent of the electricity generated in the European Union (EU) came from renewable energy sources. This represents a slight increase from 2024, when the share was 47.2 per cent.
Global power demand is set to grow by more than 3.5% per year on average over the rest of this decade, with electricity generation from renewables, natural gas and nuclear all expanding to keep pace, according to a new International Energy Agency (IEA) report.
AtkinsRéalis, a leading engineering services company, recently hosted a key event in capital Muscat to examine how Oman can meet surging AI economic development-led electricity demand through a balanced mix of nuclear, renewables, AI-ready grids and storage.
In the third quarter of 2025, 49.3 per cent of net electricity generated in the European Union (EU) came from renewable energy sources, an increase of 3.8 per cent compared with the 47.5 per cent registered in the same quarter of 2024, according to figures by Eurostat, the statistical office of the EU.
OQ Alternative Energy (OQAE)- a subsidiary of OQ - has confirmed the arrival of the first batch of wind turbines for the Riyah 1 and Riyah 2 wind farms .Developed in partnership with TotalEnergies, the two projects will feature a combined total of 36 turbines with a total generation capacity of 200 MW of clean electricity produced from wind power.
