""A more decentralised energy system, with a growing share of renewables and more market players, is structurally more resilient. Countries that invested in the energy transition are weathering this crisis with less economic damage, as they boost energy security, resilience and competitiveness.""
""Renewable energy is back in the spotlight amid the US conflict in Iran causing a spike in fuel prices and energy instability. Accelerating adoption is all well and good, but IRENA itself still isn't convinced last year's gains will be enough.""
In 2025, renewable power expansion was significant, with solar installations leading to renewables comprising 49.4 percent of global electricity capacity. The International Renewable Energy Agency reported that renewables accounted for 85.6 percent of new power additions, totaling 692 GW, a record increase of 15.5 percent year over year. Despite this growth, concerns remain about meeting renewable energy commitments. IRENA emphasized the importance of a decentralized energy system for resilience amid global conflicts affecting fuel prices and energy stability.
