The Crown Estate Awards Two 1.5 GW Floating Sites in the Celtic Sea

Equinor and a joint venture between EDF Renewables UK & Ireland and ESB have been named preferred bidders in the UK's Celtic Sea seabed leasing round, offering three #floatingwind sites. The Crown Estate said work was underway on a range of options to deliver the full potential capacity through the deployment of a third site, and that it expects to set out the next steps by the end of September 2025.

China on track to deploy 380 GW of PV in 2025
China is set to break new ground in its energy transition, with 2025 renewable capacity additions projected to exceed 500 GW, driven by surging solar and wind deployment, according to a new report from the State Grid Energy Research Institute.

China’s total installed power generation capacity is expected to reach 3.99 TW by the end of 2025, up 19.2% from a year earlier, with wind and solar accounting for nearly half of the total, the State Grid Energy Research Institute (SGERI) said in its newly released China Power Supply and Demand Analysis Report (2025).

The report said that wind and solar will contribute 500 GW of new capacity in 2025, including 140 GW from wind, a 77.1% year-on-year increase, and 380 GW from solar, up 35.5%. This marks the first time renewable additions will surpass 500 GW per year in China.

By the end of May 2025, China had added 197.85 GW of solar capacity and 46.28 GW of wind for the year, representing year-on-year growth of 150% and 134%, respectively. Cumulative solar and wind capacity reached 1.684 TW, comprising 45.8% of the country’s total generation capacity.

Misleading myths about solar ☀

Myth No. 01: Solar power is an ‘unreliable source of energy’

Despite this negative messaging from different groups, solarpower is a hugely successful technology that is widely expected to dominate the
global electricity system in the coming years.
Global solar capacity is already at least 40-times largerthan it was in 2010. The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects it to be the
world's largest power source by 2033, as the chart below shows.

Misleading myths about solar

Myth No. 02: Solar and wind power are expensive

Critics in the UK media and political circles, particularly the right-wing Reform UK party, argue that solar power is expensive and dependent on government subsidies. They claim renewables increase costs for consumers, with calls even for new taxes on solar development.

However, evidence strongly contradicts these claims. The IEA describes solar as the “cheapest electricity in history,” noting it is now cheaper to build solar than new fossil fuel plants almost everywhere globally. Data from the IRENA shows the levelised cost of utility-scale solar fell by 90% between 2010 and 2023. By 2024, the global average cost of solar PV electricity was 41% lower than the cheapest new fossil fuel power plants.

Q3 saw 3.1 GW of offshore wind come online — up 82% QoQ, led by China, the UK (Neart na Gaoithe), and Germany (Baltic Eagle).
🔌 Global capacity now stands at 87.4 GW, heading toward a 2030 forecast of 240.6 GW.
📉 PPA activity slowed sharply: only 2 deals signed, down 50% QoQ.
🔁 M&A momentum grew, with 4.7 GW in announced transactions (+42% QoQ), though only 1.0 GW reached FID (-71% QoQ).
📑 Leasing struggles: Just 1.5 GW awarded, while over 4.3 GW failed due to lack of bidders.
