The United Nations, backed by new reports from IRENA, has announced that the world has reached a 'positive tipping point' where renewable energy sources like solar and wind are now more cost-effective than fossil fuels in most regions.
In 2024, over 90% of new electricity capacity came from renewables, with solar power being 41% cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives. UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized that the clean energy transition is now unstoppable, driven by market forces rather than just environmental concerns. He called on governments and industries, especially the tech sector, to accelerate the shift by powering data centers and infrastructure with 100% renewable energy.
The UN frames this moment as a major economic opportunity, urging nations to double down on energy efficiency and phase out fossil fuels for a fair, inclusive, and sustainable future.
