Electricity 2026: Can the electricity sector ‘move fast and connect things?’
Background information Electricity 2026 – the IEA’s annual report on global electricity systems and markets – provides in-depth analysis of the recent trends and policy developments underpinning the Age of Electricity. It includes forecasts through 2030 for electricity demand, supply and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for select countries, by region and worldwide.As electricity use grows, power systems will need greater flexibility to securely and cost-effectively integrate an increasingly diverse mix of electricity generation sources and evolving demand patterns and technologies. A lack of grid capacity is also becoming a major bottleneck for electricity systems in many regions, leading…
