US EditionDiverse and resilient energy production is needed to meet future demand, global report says
Electricity use is growing fastest in both emerging and advanced economies, with renewables led by solar expanding rapidly, says the International Energy Agency.
- On Wednesday, the International Energy Agency released its World Energy Outlook 2025, finding electricity demand surging faster than other energy forms across all scenarios.
- IEA analysis shows data centers, AI and electrification across transport and industry drive rising power needs, with $580 billion invested in data centers this year, surpassing oil supply spending.
- Renewables are accelerating, led by solar power growth, while nuclear energy capacity is set to rise by at least a third by 2035 and transmission and distribution spending lags behind.
- The IEA urges nations to diversify energy sources, cooperate on critical minerals, and implement urgent grid upgrades with coordination to build resilience against cyberattacks and supply‑chain shocks.
- The report warns the world is falling short on universal energy access and climate goals, with around 730 million people without electricity and 80% of growth by 2035 from countries with high solar potential.

The report of the International Energy Agency published on Wednesday 12 November points out that the planet has entered the "electricity era." But the release of fossil fuels will largely depend on the voluntarism of the states.
Over the next 10 years, electricity will become an increasingly important energy source. In fact, it will be the fastest-growing of all energy sources, fueled by the success of solar energy. This is according to the International Energy Agency, a leading French think tank. It also warns that energy is becoming a matter of national security in these tense times.
After more than a year of pressure from the US administration led by Donald Trump, to publish scenarios more favorable to fossil fuels, the International Energy Agency (Iea) presents the 2025 edition of the World energy outlook (Web), the most authoritative global source of analysis and projections on energy. And for the first time after five years, re-introduces the Current Policies scenario (Cps), based on current policies and regulations and,…
Fossil fuel use could peak by 2030: International Energy Agency
Despite increased political support for fossil fuels, their use could peak by 2030, an International Energy Agency report said. The annual World Energy Outlook, which coincides with the COP30 climate summit in Brazil, said that coal use is at or close to a peak, while oil and gas will follow in the next 10 years and nuclear, solar, and wind will all surge. The peak has been delayed from earlier projections, mainly thanks to shifting US prioritie…
Home insulation, electric cars, solar panels, and heat pumps will reduce average household energy costs in developed economies in the coming years. The International Energy Agency (IEA) outlines this expectation in its annual World Energy Outlook report.
