The world is expected to add less clean energy capacity in 2026 due to insufficient transmission networks and trade barriers, despite prior years of growth in solar, wind, and hydropower. China, the largest renewable energy producer, has curtailed significant clean energy output due to grid limitations, affecting overall global additions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Transmission and trade bottlenecks are slowing clean energy growth just as energy reliability concerns rise. You must rethink project siting and grid partnerships to avoid stalled deployments and meet increasing demand.
