Annual Energy Outlook 2025
Energy models are simplified representations of energy production and consumption, laws and regulations, and producer and consumer behavior. Projections are highly dependent on the
View DetailsSolar and energy storage remain the leading focus areas. In the first nine months of 2025, US$6 billion across 58 renewable deals were announced—a 41% fall in value and a 45% drop in volume from the prior year. 41 Yet platform acquisitions surged 4.6x in value, 42 as financial buyers pivoted to company-level purchases to secure scale and talent.
Solar power system design and scalability. energy storage, grid integration, and coordination are the top challenges in this sector. Solutions like solar panels convert sunlight into electricity and are effective in providing the energy source for microgrids.
Solar deployment and electric vehicle (EV) sales broke records in 2023 and 2024. Renewables now dominate new power generation capacity, while new domestic clean energy manufacturing facilities are popping up around the nation. However, headwinds are also getting stronger.
From energy storage systems to off-grid technologies, startups play a vital role in reshaping how communities harness solar power. Decentralized models and smart asset management increase efficiency and reliability for a more equitable energy future.
