IEA Says World Has Entered The “Age Of Electricity”
The latest IEA energy report for 2025 shows solar and energy storage are rapidly displacing fossil fuels for energy generation.
New Projects, Partnerships, & Policies Are Needed to Address Supply Chain Risks for Rare Earth…
New IEA report highlights growing mismatch between accelerating use of rare earths across a wide range of technologies and slow pace of supply diversification globally. Rare earth elements are moving rapidly to the forefront of global policy making for energy, transport, advanced manufacturing and digital technologies as demand continues to … [continued]
Trump GOP: Forget Progress, Back to the Caves!
As I started reading Steve Hanley’s article last night about the Trump administration putting pressure on the International Energy Agency (IEA) to focus only on fossil fuels and stop tracking and reporting on renewable energy, my blood started to boil and I was driven to write this article. The level … [continued]
IEA Focus On Clean Energy Gives US Officials Heartburn
One thing is clear: Either you are in lockstep with the US pro-fossil fuel energy policy, or you are the enemy and will pay the price. Created in the 1970s after the OPEC oil embargoes, the International Energy Agency was designed to collect data on who was producing oil and … [continued]
Peak Oil Is Not Dead: Reviewing the IEA’s World Energy Outlook for 2025
A month ago, media all over the internet went crazy repeating the following headline (or a similar one) over and over: “IEA scraps Peak Oil, says oil demand will continue growing until 2050.” All this oil-positive hype was a result of the IEA’s World Energy Outlook for 2025. This report … [continued]
IEA: Renewables Will Be World’s Top Power Source “by 2026”
Renewable energy will overtake coal to become the world’s top source of electricity “by 2026 at the latest”, according to new forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The rise of renewables is being driven by extremely rapid growth in wind and solar output, which topped 4,000 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 and will … [continued]
Solar PV’s and EVs’ Perfectly Synchronous Rise
I’ve got one more highlight to share from the Snapshot of Global PV Markets report recently published by the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Program (IEA PVPS). This one was buried on the last page. The graph shows that solar PV power and electric vehicles (EVs) have been growing together … [continued]
Utility-Scale Outshining Rooftop Solar As Global Solar Market Explodes
Diving into the Snapshot of Global PV Markets report from the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Program (IEA PVPS) earlier today, I found a handful of interesting highlights. A few more were buried toward the end. We’ve already reported on the fact that solar power now dominates new power capacity … [continued]
ChatGPT generated a panoramic image illustrating "Laboratory vs. Field Reality": on the left, scientists examine small, high-efficiency perovskite cells in a lab; on the right, workers install conventional silicon PV modules across a sprawling solar farm
Reality Check: Can Perovskite Really Outshine Silicon PV?
Perovskite solar is getting another moment in the sun, with outlandish claims matched by a lack of global perspective on advances. It’s worth stepping carefully through the various dimensions of this photovoltaic technology, weighing what enthusiasts say against what’s demonstrably true today. In doing so, it’s obvious that perovskite’s pathway … [continued]
