The United Nations reports that the world has reached a 'positive tipping point' in the shift to renewable energy, with solar and wind power now cheaper than fossil fuels in most cases.
In 2024, 92.5% of new electricity capacity came from renewables, and around 90% of new renewable projects are more cost-effective than fossil fuel alternatives. UN Secretary-General António Guterres declared the fossil fuel era is fading, urging governments and tech companies to accelerate the transition and power data centers with 100% renewable energy by 2030. Despite this progress, officials warn that the transition must speed up to meet climate goals.
The economic and environmental benefits of renewables are now undeniable, marking a major turning point in the global energy landscape.
