The global energy crisis is pushing the accelerator on renewable energy expansion. Global renewable capacity is expected to increase by almost 2 400 GW (almost 75%) between 2022 and 2027 in the IEA main-case forecast, equal to the entire installed power capacity of the People''s Republic of China (hereafter "China").
This chapter describes recent projections for the development of global and European demand for battery storage out to 2050 and analyzes the underlying …
Solar becomes the largest source, accounting for one-fifth of energy supplies. Solar PV capacity increases 20-fold between now and 2050, and wind power 11-fold. Net zero means a huge decline in the use of fossil fuels. They fall from almost four-fifths of total energy supply today to slightly over one-fifth by 2050.
The outlook''s Transforming Energy Scenario aligns energy investments with the need to keep global warming "well below 2 o C", in line with the Paris Agreement. Jobs in renewables would reach 42 million globally by 2050, four times their current level, through the increased focus of investments on renewables.
2023 marks a step change for renewable power growth over the next five years. Renewable electricity capacity additions reached an estimated 507 GW in 2023, almost 50% higher than in 2022, with continuous policy support in more than 130 countries spurring a significant change in the global growth trend. This worldwide acceleration in 2023 was ...

About this report. Renewables 2022 is the IEA''s primary analysis on the sector, based on current policies and market developments. It forecasts the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat to 2027 while also exploring key challenges to the industry and identifying barriers to faster growth.
In 2023, China''s electricity demand rose by 6.4%, driven by the services and industrial sectors. With the country''s economic growth expected to slow and become less reliant on heavy industry, the pace of Chinese electricity demand growth eases to 5.1% in 2024, 4.9% in 2025 and 4.7% in 2026 in our forecasts.
About this report. As the world enters a second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the annual Global Energy Review assesses the direction energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions are taking in 2021. The latest statistical data and real-time analysis confirm our initial estimates for 2020 energy demand and CO2 emissions while providing …
Minerals are essential components in many of today''s rapidly growing clean energy technologies – from wind turbines and electricity networks to electric vehicles.

Between January and March 2023, lithium prices dropped 20%, returning to their late 2022 level. The combination of an expected 40% increase in supply and slower growth in demand, especially for EVs in China, has contributed to this trend. This drop – if sustained – could translate into lower battery prices.
Against the backdrop of turbulent markets and a crucial meeting of the COP26 conference on climate change in Glasgow, the 2021 World Energy Outlook (WEO) provides an …
The IEA Oil Market Report (OMR) is one of the world''s most authoritative and timely sources of data, forecasts and analysis on the global oil market – including detailed statistics and commentary on oil supply, demand, inventories, prices and refining activity, as well as oil trade for IEA and selected non-IEA countries. Published April 2024.
Clean energy is growing rapidly, as annual deployment of a number of key technologies has accelerated in recent years driven by policy support and continued cost declines. From 2019 to 2023, clean energy investment increased nearly 50%, reaching USD 1.8 trillion in 2023 and growing at around 10% per year across this period.
The report also forecasts an acceleration of installations of solar panels on residential and commercial rooftops, which help consumers reduce energy bills. Global wind capacity almost doubles in the forecast …
01 December 2021. Licence. CC BY 4.0. Global installed storage capacity is forecast to expand by 56% in the next five years to reach over 270 GW by 2026. The main driver is the increasing need for system flexibility and storage around the world to fully utilise and integrate larger shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) into power systems.
Given these trends, the International Energy Agency''s Electricity 2024 is essential reading. It offers a deep and comprehensive analysis of recent policies and market developments, and provides forecasts through 2026 for electricity demand, supply and CO 2 emissions. The IEA''s electricity sector report, which has been published regularly ...

Published January …
IEA analysis finds that the cost of producing hydrogen from renewable electricity could fall 30% by 2030 as a result of declining costs of renewables and the scaling up of hydrogen production. Fuel cells, …
A lot is riding on these choices. Our updated tracking, across all sectors, technologies and regions, suggests that world energy investment is set to rise over 8% in 2022 to reach a total of USD 2.4 trillion, well above pre-Covid levels.
Overall, we estimate that electric car sales will account for about 3% of global car sales in 2020. This outlook is underpinned by supporting policies, particularly in China and Europe. Both markets have national and local subsidy schemes in place – China recently extended its subsidy scheme until 2022.
Notes Natural gas = steam methane reforming (SMR); coal = coal gasification. Coal and coal with CCS apply to China only. Electrolysis using low-carbon electricity assumes dedicated renewables-based generation. Capital expenditure (CAPEX) assumptions: SMR ...
