Power Projects in 2025: Where Money and Wind Are Going

The latest research shows that the world is planning about $8. 53 trillion worth of new power plants by the end of 2025. Most of that money is still in early stages: almost 60 % is spent on planning and preparing projects, while about a quarter is already under construction. The remaining 14 % are in the detailed design and tender phases, waiting for contracts to be awarded. Wind turbines lead the charge, making up roughly 40 % of the total value or $3. 38 trillion. That amount could bring about 1, 896 gigawatts of new wind capacity to the global grid. Solar panels follow with about 16 % of the money, or $1. 34 trillion, which could add another 1, 317 gigawatts of power. Hydropower is next, representing 14 % ($1. 22 trillion) and adding around 818 gigawatts.The study breaks down projects by region, from North America to Sub‑Saharan Africa, and lists the top twenty projects in each area. It also names the main contractors, engineers, and owners that are driving these developments. Businesses can use this information to spot where the biggest opportunities lie, plan marketing efforts in specific countries, and align resources with projects that promise the highest returns. The data covers every major market from Europe to Asia, giving a comprehensive view of where new power infrastructure is headed.
