Global renewable energy deployment accelerated in 2025, with solar and wind power surpassing coal generation worldwide for the first time in history. China maintained its position at the forefront of clean energy expansion, installing a greater capacity of solar and wind infrastructure than all other nations combined.
In Canada, wind and solar sources currently account for 9 percent of the national electrical grid. While Canada's grid maintains a relatively low carbon footprint overall due to extensive hydroelectric capacity, the deployment of wind and solar generation facilities has progressed at a slower pace compared to global trends.
