Solar surpasses nuclear in global power generation for first time

In 2025, global solar generation overtook nuclear output by 13%, a reversal from 2015 when nuclear produced ten times more. This marks a structural shift in the global power mix, driven by falling solar costs and policy support, though intermittency and grid integration remain challenges. The milestone signals accelerating energy transition and has implications for fossil fuel demand and power market dynamics.
