OUT TODAY: The take-off in African solar that official statistics can’t yet see

2026 is on track for +45% in solar installations, setting new records in 36 countries.

New methodology reveals 3/4 of growth is distributed solar, much of which is missing from official data..🧵

[Dave Jones @CleanPowerDave]

@nicolasfulghum wow laos - wafers, so presumably manufacturing into panels for export

[Dave Jones @CleanPowerDave]

All #opendata here, including country-by-country and sub-HS codes.

It's a treasure chest of data

Clean tech is booming!

One example of this is China's clean tech exports... reaching $32 billion in September 2026...

The Strait of Hormuz runs 2 ways... a record 2.6GW of solar panels were exported from China to Saudi Arabia in September☀️

@TACJ the price is the gaming part... over £1000/MWh!??!

[Dave Jones @CleanPowerDave]

Gas power plants are having a laugh... 😠

The biggest cost of the GB wind constraint isn't turning down the wind in Scotland. It's turning up the gas power plants to replace them in England.

How to prevent this gaming and profiteering?

@FelineCoder i can't remember where i've seen it, but many cases of bidding in at over £1000/MWh which is waaayyyyyyyy past gas price

This is huge! The BBC just pushed back against Donald Trump after he cancelled his deposition in his own $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the network when their lawyers wanted to question him under oath, and have now asked a federal judge to intervene and make him testify before the discovery deadline.
Thank you to the BBC for refusing to back down!

China’s dependency on oil is dropping fast

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

This is stunning.

Electric vehicles seem to be winning outright everywhere except America.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

EVs are a superior technology and will win

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

The power of unstoppable S-curves: 49 countries hit record Electric Vehicles sales shares in 2026. It's not what you’d expect:
>Viet Nam’s peak share now tops China’s and Sweden’s
>Thailand beats Germany and the UK
>Uruguay beats France

Completely missing: the US, at 6%

NEW | EV Adoption is booming around the world

The Hormuz crisis once again revealed the risks of an energy system reliant on fossil fuels and countries are taking notice.

Growing EV fleets have saved oil importers more than $20 billion since the start of the war.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE GAS MARKET: Weather models are pointing to a broadly warm winter across Japan, South Korea and parts of China ☀️👀

These three countries are the world's top LNG importers. So any drop in demand will help free-up supply for Europe
