🇪🇸 Spain has some of the lowest wholesale electricity prices in Europe.
Why? It's largely down to the country’s strong solar and wind growth! Wind and solar has reduced the influence of expensive coal and gas power on the electricity market.

🇨🇳 China installed 464 GW of solar capacity in the 12 months to June☀️
That's more than the total EU solar capacity as of 2024 (338 GW) and DOUBLE the total US solar capacity (229 GW).

Solar became the top power source in the EU for the first time ever in June 2025 ☀️
At least 13 EU countries beat their previous record share of solar in the electricity mix 👏 helping power systems grapple with high demand from ongoing heatwaves.

On one day alone, the heatwave in Europe may have impacted up to 15% of France’s nuclear capacity. Just one nuclear facility was running without capacity reductions.

NEW | Mexico’s goal to reach 45% renewable electricity by 2030 would avoid $1.6 Bn in annual gas imports from the US and create 434K jobs 🇲🇽
It would also deliver 10x the fuel cost savings and nearly 2x more jobs compared to the alternative 36% pathway.

They're the fastest-growing energy sources ⚡
Solar, especially, is booming everywhere ☀️
Initially, we're covering 25 countries – together making up over 90% of global solar & wind capacity.

12 countries supply 80% of net fossil fuel exports - with rising trade uncertainty, this puts much of the world at risk.
