A new report from GEM reveals the largest power capacity expansion on record across the BRICS group of nations. Future capacity additions will be driven primarily by utility-scale solar and wind ☀️💨🔌💡

Who added the most pumped storage #hydropower (PSH) this year? 🗺️
🇨🇳 China, 🇬🇧 the UK, and 🇮🇳 India are leading the world in newly operating PSH. China alone has 168 GW currently under construction.

BRICS broke renewable records in 2025 — & fossil records too.
Solar + wind additions hit 497GW, but the bloc also added 125GW of coal, oil and gas capacity.
A split transition: renewables are cutting coal generation in places, while fossil capacity grows.

🇨🇴 Colombia is at a critical energy crossroads. Despite its strong climate leadership, the country remains tied to #fossil infrastructure.
The incoming gov't has a unique window to secure the grid without locking into a costly, massive LNG overbuild.

🇪🇺 Coal is in terminal decline in the #EU.
Despite delays, coal generation fell for the 3rd year in a row to 9.2% of the mix. True security lies in scaling renewables, not extending aging plants.
