UK green power construction permits surge 195% in the 2nd quarter with 16.1GW of new renewables across 323 projects, while BESS projects double to 8.4GW compared to the same quarter in 2024 Major push underway for Britain to be 95% carbon-free by 2030 ft.com/content/926a29…

NEW ANALYSIS: Record solar growth keeps China's CO2 falling in H1 2025, extending a decline since Mar 2024 ☀️212GW added in H1 alone (US only has 178GW, in total) ⚡Power CO2 down 3% 🏗️Steel/cement falling too 🏭Coal-chemicals only sector to rise carbonbrief.org/analysis-recor… 1/8

China: In the first half of 2025, growth in solar power alone matched the rise in electricity demand, driving a continuing decrease in the country’s CO2 emissions, down 1% y-on-y to extend a declining trend from March 2024 Historic carbonbrief.org/analysis-recor…

China’ battery energy storage capacity is now above 100 GW, up 110% vs. last year, surpassing hydro for the first time ever There’s no stopping the rise of solar + wind + storage, and meanwhile, their costs keep decreasing pv-magazine.com/2025/08/22/chi…

To all policymakers: never bet against solar. Its rapid, exponential growth is driving a fundamental energy transformation worldwide, moving faster than you think h/t Jesse Peltan and AukeHoekstra
