A report by Global Energy Monitor stated that the global wind and utility-scale solar project pipeline reached a record 4.9 terawatts (TW) in 2025.
The total pipeline increased by 11 per cent from 4.4 TW in 2024 to 4.9 TW in 2025.
China leads with over 1.5 TW prospective capacity and 448 gigawatts (GW) under construction, while India has 125 GW under construction and more than 163 GW operating capacity.
The G7 countries account for only 11 per cent of global prospective wind and solar capacity, with a combined pipeline of about 520 GW.
Globally, 758 GW of projects are under construction, with nearly three-fourths located in China and India.
The report noted that current progress is insufficient to meet the tripling of the renewable energy target by 2030 agreed at the COP28 summit.
