G7 ‘falling behind’ China as world’s wind and solar plans reach new high in 2025

The G7 major economies “f[e]ll notably behind China and the rest of the world” in 2025 as the amount of wind and solar power being developed reached a new high, according to Global Energy Monitor (GEM).
A new report from the analysts says that the amount of wind and large-scale solar capacity being built or planned around the world reached a record 4,900 gigawatts (GW) in 2025.
This “pipeline” of projects has grown by 500GW (11%) since 2024, GEM says, with the increase “predominantly” coming from developing countries.
China alone has a pipeline of more than 1,500GW, equivalent to that of the next six countries combined: Brazil (401GW); Australia (368GW); India (234GW); the US (226GW); Spain (165GW); and the Philippines (146GW).
In contrast, GEM says that G7 countries – the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan – represent just 520GW (11%) of the wind and solar pipeline, despite accounting for around half of global wealth.
tbh, US leading the slowdown. „Conservative“ by definition is slow to change or adapt. US playing into China’s hands. Especially since so many have been paid to learn their expertise by foreign firms.
Hah but china or usa don’t have non removable caps on bottle like Eu hah!
Well, Europe has seen what happens when your energy infrastructure is dependent on someone else to deliver you gas.
With China going solar and wind, they are entirely independent, unaffected by trade wars, sanctions, etc. They don’t even have to mine any resource and can instead transform that land as well.
Man, it would seem like such a no-brainer for everyone to do the same but alas, politics.
Luckily the US is going backwards. Means Europeans can point to the US instead of China when we want an excuse for not doing enough.
