10 News on Renewable Energy (10/17/2025)

1. News about the advancement of renewables in China raises environmental and sustainability concerns. The exponential growth of renewable capacity in China, particularly in solar and hydroelectric power, reinforces its role as a global leader in the energy transition. However, the environmental impacts of hydroelectric projects on sensitive ecosystems require robust mitigation policies, such as habitat restoration, to align energy expansion with ESG criteria and maintain the legitimacy of the green transition. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/30/climate/china-clean-energy-power.html

2. IEA cuts forecast for renewable growth in the US through 2030, citing regulatory barriers. The IEA’s revision highlights a systemic challenge in the US: regulatory bottlenecks could limit the addition of 200 GW of renewable capacity by 2030. Reforms to the National Environmental Policy Act and incentives for storage solutions are critical to unlocking decarbonization potential, aligning net-zero goals with operational feasibility. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/iea-trims-renewables-outlook-us-policy-shifts-china-auction-reforms-weigh-2025-10-07/

3. Renewable energy stocks attract investment again, driven by fund inflows. The recovery in the renewable energy stock market reflects growing investor confidence in the sector. To sustain this momentum in a high-yield environment, strategies integrating solar generation with long-duration batteries can enhance financial returns, positioning renewables as strategic and profitable assets. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/every-electron-counts-why-renewables-stocks-are-back-play-2025-10-09/

4. IUCN and IRENA sign partnership for renewable solutions integrating nature and people. The collaboration between IUCN and IRENA marks a significant step toward integrating biodiversity and local communities into renewable projects. Standardizing environmental impact metrics in life-cycle analyses could attract up to $1 trillion in climate financing, establishing the sector as a benchmark for holistic sustainability. https://solarquarter.com/2025/10/11/the-international-union-for-conservation-of-nature-iucn-and-irena-sign-mou-at-world-conservation-congress-to-promote-sustainable-nature-positive-renewable-energy-transition/

5. Grid planners explain why markets continue to choose renewables in the US. The addition of 19.3 GW of solar and wind capacity in 2025 underscores the economic competitiveness of renewables, with levelized costs below $30/MWh in favorable regions. Investments in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines are crucial to scaling renewable penetration while ensuring grid stability and flexibility. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/grid-planners-and-experts-on-why-markets-keep-choosing-renewables/758233/

6. Renewables surpass coal in global electricity generation for the first time. The historic milestone of 34.3% global renewable generation in 2025 signals a structural shift in the energy mix. To sustain this progress, global power purchase agreements (PPAs) are essential, particularly in Asia, to mitigate price volatility and accelerate the retirement of fossil assets. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/09/nx-s1-5564746/renewable-energy-coal-electricity-first

7. Monthly update: Renewables generate more energy than coal in the first half of 2025. The leadership of renewables in electricity generation opens opportunities for energy-intensive sectors, such as cement, to adopt green PPAs. Integrating carbon capture and storage (CCUS) in industrial processes could enable emissions cuts of up to 50% by 2030, aligning production with climate goals. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/07/global-renewable-energy-generation-surpasses-coal-first-time

8. Global electricity insights: Solar and wind outpace demand growth in H1 2025. The record growth of solar and wind highlights the capacity of renewables to meet global energy demand. However, seasonal mismatches require investments in storage, such as flow batteries, supported by tax incentives, to ensure the resilience and scalability of the energy system. https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/global-electricity-mid-year-insights-2025/

9. Global renewable generation surpasses coal for the first time. The surpassing of coal by renewable generation reflects resilient supply chains and technological advancements in solar and wind. Mitigating geopolitical risks in rare minerals through diversification into geothermal and green hydrogen can strengthen Western leadership in the energy transition. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/07/global-renewable-energy-generation-surpasses-coal-first-time

10. Global renewable capacity set to grow strongly, led by solar PV. The IEA’s projection of 4,600 GW of additional capacity by 2030, driven by solar, underscores the sector’s dominance. Integrating artificial intelligence to optimize production forecasts can boost efficiency by 15%, transforming ambitious projections into concrete, sustainable outcomes for global decarbonization. https://www.iea.org/news/global-renewable-capacity-is-set-to-grow-strongly-driven-by-solar-pv
