EU energy security policy guarantees that all households and essential services are protected in case of crisis. For this reason, the gas security of supply framework designates households and essential social services. These customer categories in turn receive special protection, to avoid that they are disconnected during an energy crisis. For electricity, EU countries can protect users against disconnection if personal security or public safety are at risk. Even during the worst of times, EU countries are required to help each other out and offer solidarity. This means that EU countries will send gas or electricity to a neighbouring EU country in need.

By the end of 2025, South Africa remained the largest wind energy market in Africa. Recent developments indicate renewed momentum in Egypt’s wind market. Wind power driving the clean energy transition Kenya continued to strengthen its position as one of Africa’s most renewables-heavy power systems in 2025, with renewables comprising more than 80% of the power mix. Saudi Arabia’s wind energy journey is marked by flagship installations and growing project pipelines under its renewable energy agenda. Türkiye is positioning offshore wind as a long-term pillar of its energy transition under the National Energy Plan for 2035 and its 2053 net-zero target.

As global demand for electricity rises, driven in part by the rapid buildout of AI data centers, the pace of the energy transition increasingly depends on whether low-carbon power is available to meet that demand. Solar and wind energy, core technologies in the transition, have scaled rapidly in many countries over the past decade, most notably in China and the US. And yet, deployment is uneven in both nations. Some provinces and states have seen a massive ramp-up in solar and wind capacity; others have witnessed halting or stalled progress, even where the underlying resources are abundant.

Solar PV, the largest single source of growth, met more than 25% of higher demand, followed by natural gas, which contributed 17%. This was the first time on record that a modern renewable source contributed the largest share of global energy demand growth. Demand for oil, natural gas and coal all grew in 2025, but at a slower rate than in 2024. Low-emissions sources combined – solar, wind, nuclear, hydropower and other renewables – contributed nearly 60% of the growth in global demand. Coal demand in 2025 grew only modestly above 2024 levels, rising by around 0.4%.
