        Cyprus

        Cyprus adopted the Law on the Promotion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in the early 2010s, which creates a fund that finances the premium tariff and other costs related to renewable electricity generation.

        Grid-scale Storage

        Country and regional highlights
        Major markets target greater deployment of storage additions through new funding and strengthened recommendations
        Technology deployment
        Pumped-storage hydropower is still the most widely deployed storage technology, but grid-scale batteries are catching up
        Innovation
        While innovation on lithium-ion batteries continues, further cost reductions depend on critical mineral prices

        Net Zero Emissions

        An increasing number of countries have been making pledges to reduce their emissions to net zero in the coming decades. To inform these efforts, the IEA released a first-of-its-kind Net Zero Roadmap in 2021, outlining what would be required within the energy sector to achieve this goal at the global level by mid-century. An update to the Roadmap, which has served as an essential benchmark for policy makers, industry, the financial sector and civil society, was published in 2023.The Roadmap is based on the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions (NZE) Scenario, which portrays a pathway for the…

        Bolivia

        A quarter of the electricity generated in Bolivia comes from renewables. On the other hand, 12% of the population still does not have access to electricity. The government has launched the Bolivia Electric Plan 2020-2025 to support the expansion of the electricity grid with a strong emphasis on renewables.

        Uganda

        In 2019, Uganda’s energy mix was dominated by fuel wood and charcoal followed by a small share of oil products. The country produces electricity mainly from hydroelectric plants. Between 2017 and 2019, electrification outpaced population growth in Uganda. However in 2020, less than 5% of the population had access to clean cooking.
        The Electricity Connection Policy was introduced in 2018 with the ambition of increasing Uganda’s electricity access to 60 percent by 2027 through connection subsidies for consumers located close to the existing network. About 300,000 households and businesses have received free electricity connections, benefiting 1.5…

        Portugal

        Portugal is supporting decarbonisation through a wide variety of measures, such as, coal-fired generation was phased out in 2021. Portugal is further developing its large hydropower fleet, including additional capacity of pumped hydro storage. Portugal is an international leader for integration of wind generation, and auctions are driving rapid deployment of PV and battery storage. Portugal is pushing for better electricity interconnections with the rest of Europe. Portugal’s National Energy and Climate Plan sets 2030 targets for emissions reductions, energy efficiency and renewable energy that aim to put the country a path to achieving cost effective carbon neutrality…

Consequently, CO2 emissions from electricity generation for data centres peak at around 320 Mt CO2 by 2030, before entering a shallow decline to around 300 Mt CO2 by 2035. Despite rapid growth, data centres remain a relatively small part of the overall power system, rising from about 1% of global electricity generation today to 3% in 2030, accounting for less than 1% of total global CO2 emissions. Regional outlook The United States and China are by far the largest data centre markets today. In both countries, most of the electricity consumed by data centres...
