Address electrification in regions underserved by reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity
Increasing access to reliable, secure, and affordable electricity addresses energy poverty, fuels growth in global economies, and helps improve quality of life. In 2025, ~37% of our new generating capacity and grid enabling capacity, in terms of GW, became energized in developing or emerging economies. This balanced split demonstrates our reach and ability to help electrify underserved regions.
The 26 GW of new power generating capacity that came online was dispersed among 30 countries or regions, 16 of which are categorized as developing or emerging economies by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Of this new power generating capacity added, 47% was in developing and emerging economies.
The 68 GW of grid enabling capacity energized was spread among 29 countries or regions, 13 of which are categorized as developing or emerging economies by the IMF. Of this grid enabling capacity energized, 33% was in developing and emerging economies.
OUR 2025 PROGRESS
In 2025, ~37% of our new generating capacity and grid enabling capacity, in terms of GW, became energized in developing or emerging economies, exceeding our annual goal of 30%. While we do not expect this figure to continually increase necessarily year over year, we aim to consistently serve 30% to the developing world each year.
