Global energy transition picks up pace amid rising challenges: WEF report

1 week ago | energymonitor.ai | Tiash Saha

The World Economic Forum (WEF) Energy Transition Index 2025 report has indicated that global progress towards secure, sustainable, and equitable energy is picking up pace after years of moderate improvements. However, significant challenges such as geopolitical tensions, investment shortfalls, and a widening gap between clean energy innovation and deployment in areas that need it most could offset the progress.
CIF selects seven countries to join emission-cutting programme

Is your data center ready for the energy shift? Discover on-site solutions

3 weeks ago | energymonitor.ai | Nikki Thompson

In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI), digital commerce, and 24/7 connectivity, power infrastructure is under growing pressure. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the data center sector, where skyrocketing electricity demand, lagging grid development, and sustainability mandates collide.
Global renewable energy capacity to triple in a decade

1 month ago | energymonitor.ai | Stu Robarts

The installed renewable energy capacity globally will more than triple from an estimated 3.42TW at the end of 2024 to 11.2TW by 2035, a new report forecasts. GlobalData’s Renewable Energy report states that capacity will grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR) of 11% over the period, which although lower than the CAGR of 16% between 2015 and 2024 remains strong.
Solar and wind energy could energise 30% of ASEAN data centres in 2030: Ember report

1 month ago | energymonitor.ai | Tiash Saha

Solar and wind energy can potentially meet up to 30% of Southeast Asia’s data centre electricity requirements in 2030, without the need for battery storage, as detailed in a report by energy think tank Ember. This development is crucial as the region seeks to balance its digital expansion with sustainable energy practices. The report identifies Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam as emerging global data centre hotspots, with 2.9GW of new capacity in development.
India's clean energy growth outpaces global trends

1 month ago | energymonitor.ai | Tiash Saha

India is addressing its rapidly growing electricity demand using affordable, clean, and efficient renewable energy sources, according to a new report from Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), an independent, non-profit organisation based in the US. Titled ‘Empowering India: The Clean Energy Growth Opportunity’, the report highlights that India is achieving this through policy initiatives and innovation while minimising costs, boosting jobs and domestic production, and increasing competitiveness.
China's carbon emissions decline by 1.6% amid clean energy surge

1 month ago | energymonitor.ai | Tiash Saha

China has witnessed a 1.6% year-on-year decrease in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions despite a surge in power demand in the first quarter of 2025, based on the analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). This shift is attributed to a significant rise in electricity supplied by new wind, solar, and nuclear capacity, which offset coal-power output.
CAN Europe: Why the EU must not let ‘blue’ hydrogen derail our climate ambitions

1 month ago | energymonitor.ai | Stu Robarts

As the European Commission finalises its Low Carbon Delegated Act under the recently adopted Gas Directive, it faces a pivotal decision, writes Esther Bollendorff, senior gas policy coordinator at Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe. Will the EU uphold its climate ambition, or will it allow fossil-based ‘blue’ hydrogen to masquerade as a clean solution? This legislative act will set rules for what qualifies as low-carbon hydrogen, a label that must be earned, not gifted.
Outdated grid planning delays Europe’s renewable shift

1 month ago | energymonitor.ai | Umesh Ellichipuram

Europe’s electricity infrastructure is failing to evolve in line with the renewable energy shift, as detailed in a report by Beyond Fossil Fuels, E3G, Ember, and the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. The findings indicate that outdated planning and mandates are hindering the essential upgrades and expansions of the continent’s electrical networks.
