According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity demand is anticipated to maintain a robust growth trajectory, with a forecasted increase of 3.3% in 2025 and a projected rise of 3.7% in 2026. The primary forces driving this growth encompass heightened industrial electricity consumption, the widespread adoption of air conditioning, the expansion of data centers, and the surging demand for electric vehicles. By 2026, renewable energy is expected to overtake coal as the world's leading source of power generation, while nuclear power production will also attain an all-time high, and natural gas-fired power generation will witness steady growth. The report underscores the imperative for augmented investments in grid infrastructure, energy storage solutions, and peak-shaving capabilities to ensure the reliability and affordability of the global electricity supply.
