IEA forecasts have underestimated solar growth for roughly a decade, analysis says

The International Energy Agency (IEA) publishes forecasts for solar-energy buildout. An analysis of the forecasts argues that actual solar growth has exceeded the IEA’s projections every year for roughly the past ten years.

The analysis says the forecasts systematically underestimate solar expansion. It argues that continued rapid deployment could reduce inflation and lower the cost of a broad range of goods and services, potentially enabling new economic activity.
