How Domestic Renewables Strengthen Energy Security​

June 19, 2026

As renewable capacity reaches record levels, domestic renewable energy, storage and resilient supply chains are strengthening energy security by reducing exposure to fossil-fuel imports, price shocks and supply disruptions.

Renewables prove their resilience

2025 marks another record for installed renewable power capacity with almost 700 GW of new additions, highlighting the continued momentum for renewables.

Renewables accounted for 85.6% of global power capacity additions, while non-renewables continue to account for a smaller share of additions.

The ongoing strong performance is proof of renewables resilience, signaling countries to strengthen their energy security with domestic renewable sources, as they are less vulnerable to international market shocks.
