Wood Mackenzie’s Energy Transition Outlook 2025–2026 projects that rising power demand and increasing geopolitical tension have made global net zero emissions by 2050 unattainable. The firm’s analysis indicates that the world is currently on track for 2.6°C of global warming. The study, titled Energy Evolution in the Age of Superintelligence, models four pathways for the energy and natural resources sector: a base case at 2.6°C, a pledges scenario at 2°C, a net zero 2050 pathway at 1.5°C, and a delayed transition at 3.1°C.

The USA installed 593MW of new wind capacity in the second quarter of 2025, a 60% decrease compared with the same period in 2024, according to the US Wind Energy Monitor published by Wood Mackenzie and the American Clean Power Association (ACP). Despite the slowdown, installations over the first nine months of 2025 are projected to exceed 2024 levels, reaching 3.8GW. Total annual installations are expected to reach 7.7GW, with more than half of that capacity scheduled to come online in the final quarter of the year.
