Low-emission energy sources set to cater for burgeoning electricity demand up to 2027

The International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates global electricity consumption will increase at the fastest pace in years over 2025 to 2027, fuelled by growing industrial production, rising use of air conditioning, accelerating electrification and the expansion of data centres. Global electricity demand increased by 2.5% in 2023, 4.3% in 2024 and will likely grow by another 4% a year from 2025 to 2027.
