What Will We Do With Our Free Power?

The rapid decline in solar power costs is transforming the global energy landscape. Jenny Chase of BloombergNEF highlights that by 2030, solar power could be free during sunny periods across much of the world. In 2023 alone, global solar capacity increased by 444 gigawatts, and solar energy is now the cheapest source of electricity for 95% of the world. As solar power approaches near-zero costs, its implications extend beyond energy markets, potentially revolutionizing industries and enabling large-scale projects like carbon removal. However, challenges in energy storage and infrastructure remain, and the future depends on how these technological advancements are harnessed.
