Renewables Dominate New Capacity But Grid Integration Emerges as Bottleneck
Over 90% of new global power capacity additions in 2025-2026 are renewables, with the sector on track to meet over 90% of electricity demand growth and overtake coal by 2026. However, this rapid deployment is creating new challenges around grid integration and permitting processes that could constrain future momentum.
The energy transition has reached a tipping point in generation capacity, but infrastructure and regulatory bottlenecks are becoming the new limiting factors for continued growth.
