According to reporting by <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/11\/13\/solar-and-wind-are-covering-all-new-power-demand-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Electrek<\/a>, renewable energy is growing so much that it is actually outpacing global electricity demand.<\/p>\n<p>As well as this, dirty power usage is predicted to remain flat, which would make 2025 the first year that dirty fuel production hasn&#8217;t increased from the previous year since the COVID-19 pandemic. Renewable energy production now generates more electricity than coal.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the first three quarters of 2024, solar generation increased by 31% in the first three quarters of 2025. Not only is that a massive increase, but there was actually more solar energy produced in the first nine months of 2025 than in the entirety of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Relying more on renewable energies could lead to cheaper utility bills for everybody, because wind and solar power have been found to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecooldown.com\/green-tech\/renewable-energy-costs-competition-coal-solar-wind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">far cheaper source of energy<\/a> than dirty fuels like oil and gas.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike oil and gas, generating and using wind and solar power doesn&#8217;t release <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecooldown.com\/green-business\/what-are-carbon-footprints-why-bad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">harmful carbon pollution<\/a>, which has been linked to serious health issues, such as cancers, diabetes, cognitive impairment, and neurological diseases, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/teams\/environment-climate-change-and-health\/air-quality-energy-and-health\/health-impacts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">World Health Organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>TCD Picks \u00bb Upway Spotlight<\/p>\n<p class=\"description-text\" style=\"color:#0E0E0E\">\ud83d\udca1Upway makes it easy to find discounts of up to 60% on premium e-bike brands<\/p>\n<p>This marks a major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecooldown.com\/green-business\/renewable-energy-solar-wind-coal-electricity-demand-slashing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">shift in the global power system<\/a> toward a cleaner future, proving that it is feasible to power the planet with energy that doesn&#8217;t destroy the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Nicholas Fulghum, a senior data analyst at Ember, said per <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/11\/13\/solar-and-wind-are-covering-all-new-power-demand-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Electrek<\/a>, &#8220;Record solar power growth and stagnating fossil fuels in 2025 show how clean power has become the driving force in the power sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;Fossil power now appears to be entering a period of stagnation and managed decline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to reap the benefits of renewable energy and see your own energy bills plummet, you could consider installing solar panels at home.
