Higher solar generation levels in turn lifted solar power's share of India's electricity generation mix to a record 10% during March and April, compared to an average of 7% for 2024.

Solar now accounts for more than 16.6 per cent of electricity generation in the country, putting it well above Canada's 1.1 per cent, and the global average of 5.5 per cent.

Solar power grew by 15%, while furnace oil usage plummeted 79%. Nuclear energy became 35% costlier, while furnace oil-based generation became 12% cheaper, adding complexity to future energy planning.

In 2024, solar alone met 36% of the increase in electricity generation across all BRICS countries, a major jump from 14% in the previous decade and just 0.25% a decade before that.

A record 45 TWh of solar power was generated across the European Union in June, which helped stabilize electricity supply during the recent heatwave, according to think tank Ember.

Global solar power generation jumped by 34% in the first quarter of 2025 from the same period in 2024, according to data from Ember cited by Reuters columnist Gavin Maguire.

A sunny weekend in northwest Europe plunged power prices in the region to hundreds of euros below zero on Sunday afternoon as solar generation soared. Spot power prices in Belgium sank to as low ...

Even though solar panels don't generate the same amount of power all year in Yukon, they still play an important role in offsetting the territory's use of diesel.

(Bloomberg) — A patch of clear, sunny weather boosted solar generation across parts of Europe and sent power prices into negative territory for large periods around midday. Intraday power prices in ...

Coal remains Poland's primary power source, but a near doubling in clean electricity output since 2019 - largely due to a nearly 2,000% rise in solar generation - has helped the country's ...

Thermal power generated through a natural gas combined cycle plant can be cheaper than either wind or solar -- $1,300 to $1,800 per kilowatt -- and has a generating capacity of 70 per cent ...
