... a historic maximum of about 1.5 TW. This level was driven by extreme heat and massive use of air conditioning. Nevertheless, a significant share of the production increase was achieved thanks to solar power plants, along with increased generation at hydroelectric power stations compared to last year—this helped partially compensate for the demand surge and avoid significant energy supply disruptions. In the U.S., rapid development of RES is significantly changing the structure of generation. As of mid-2025, the share ...

... witnessed in July: peak electricity consumption reached an all-time high of around 1.5 TW, driven by extreme heat and the widespread use of air conditioning. Nevertheless, a significant portion of the production increase has been achieved through solar power stations and increased hydroelectric generation compared to last year – this helped partially offset the demand surge and avoid serious disruptions in energy supply. In the U.S., rapid development of RES is noticeably transforming the generation structure. As of mid-2025,...

... to Rosstat, total electricity production for six months amounted to approximately 600 billion kWh, which is 1.9% less than the previous year. The primary contributor to the decline has been hydropower generation due to a low-water year: generation at hydroelectric power stations fell by almost 12%, to 98 billion kWh. This decline has been partially offset by thermal power plants (TPP), which increased production by 0.5% (to 394 billion kWh). Nuclear power plants (NPP) produced about 104 billion kWh from January to June,...
