Paris — October 7, 2025 — The International Energy Agency (IEA) is set to launch its highly anticipated Renewables 2025 market report during a live press webinar on Tuesday, October 7, at 11:00 a.m. Paris time. The briefing will be led by IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol and Senior Energy Analyst Heymi Bahar, the report’s lead author.
The annual Renewables report has become one of the IEA’s flagship publications, offering an authoritative look at trends shaping the global clean energy transition. This year’s edition comes at a pivotal moment for renewable power as governments and companies accelerate deployment to meet ambitious climate targets while contending with persistent supply chain pressures and financing challenges.
Key Insights into Renewable Growth
According to the agency, Renewables 2025 will present the latest forecasts and analysis of global renewable energy deployment through 2030. The report covers the electricity, transport, and heating sectors—three key pillars of the energy system where renewables are expected to drive the bulk of future emissions reductions.
“This year’s edition provides forecasts for the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat through 2030,” the IEA said in its media invitation. “It also examines notable developments in key areas of the sector, including policy changes, manufacturing trends, and the financial health of different parts of the industry.”
By bringing together the latest policy updates and market data, the IEA aims to provide governments, investors, and businesses with the insights needed to navigate a rapidly evolving sector. Analysts expect the report to highlight both the remarkable progress achieved since the global energy crisis of 2022–23 and the structural barriers that continue to limit faster renewable integration.
Global Policy and Market Context
The launch follows a series of landmark policy moves across major economies in the past year. In Canada, new investment tax credits for clean electricity and manufacturing are reshaping the domestic renewables landscape, while similar incentives in the United States, Europe, and Asia are spurring record levels of green energy investment.
The Renewables 2025 report is expected to assess how these policy shifts influence long-term deployment trends and the competitive balance among regions. The IEA has previously warned that while renewables are on track to become the dominant source of global power generation by the end of this decade, sustained policy support is critical to maintain investment momentum and address grid integration challenges.
Leadership and Industry Engagement
The upcoming webinar will feature two of the agency’s leading voices on energy transition. Executive Director Fatih Birol has repeatedly emphasized the importance of renewables in achieving both climate and energy security goals, while Heymi Bahar, a veteran analyst and lead author of the report, has overseen the IEA’s renewable market outlooks for more than a decade.
The session will provide journalists with an overview of the key findings and projections from the report, followed by a live question-and-answer segment. “The webinar will be led by IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol and Senior Energy Analyst Heymi Bahar, the report’s lead author,” the agency confirmed. The IEA added that the event “is open to journalists and will also be livestreamed,” allowing broader participation from the media and energy sector stakeholders around the world.
Access and Embargo Details
Accredited journalists who register for the event will receive advance access to the full report and supporting materials under embargo. “The report will be shared under embargo with reporters who register for the webinar,” the IEA noted. “It will also be available upon request at [email protected].”
The embargo lifts at 7:00 a.m. Paris time on Tuesday, October 7, coinciding with the public release of the report and livestream broadcast. The timing allows global markets and policymakers to digest the findings early in the day as the energy community prepares for the year ahead.
Anticipated Focus on Industry Dynamics
This year’s Renewables report is expected to delve into critical structural issues facing the sector, including global supply chain resilience, the surge in clean technology manufacturing, and the financial health of renewable developers after several years of inflationary pressures. Analysts anticipate updated projections for solar photovoltaic and wind power capacity, alongside assessments of emerging technologies in storage, green hydrogen, and bioenergy.
The IEA’s Renewables series has long served as a key benchmark for understanding how government policies and market forces interact to shape the clean energy future. With global attention on ensuring reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy systems, the 2025 edition will likely underscore the dual challenge of scaling renewables rapidly while maintaining financial and operational stability across the industry.
