Renewables generated more global electricity than coal for the first time since 1919, with data from Ember showing 33.8% from renewables vs 33.0% from coal. This historic shift, driven by solar and wind, brings the world closer to climate goals.

This milestone marks a turning point in the global energy transition, signaling that renewable energy is now the dominant source of electricity worldwide. For investors, policymakers, and consumers, it underscores the accelerating shift away from fossil fuels, creating opportunities in green energy stocks and technologies while highlighting the urgency of supporting sustainable infrastructure. The data from Ember provides concrete evidence that emissions goals are achievable, but continued investment and policy support are critical to maintain momentum.
