On this week’s episode of #TruthtoPower, IntelStor's Founder & CEO, Philip Totaro kicks off a new series with a deep dive into the future of the renewable energy market globally, with the launch of our latest global market forecast.

The most important outcome is that renewable energy is now 50% of the power generation mix. Capacity additions across all renewable energy technologies now total 4.89TW globally with solar PV leading the way, followed by hydropower then onshore wind.

The world went from 25% renewables as part of the power generation mix in 2000 to just over 50% in only 25 years. IntelStor is also able to forecast that based on a 2 – 3% growth rate for renewable energy vs non-renewables, the world will eliminate fossil fuels before 2050 and could even eliminate dependence on nuclear technology for power generation as well.

Solar PV leads the world with more than 2 TW installed globally as of the end of 2025. Onshore wind will overtake hydropower as the second largest renewable power generation source by capacity installed in 2026.
