Total electrical capacity

Global electrical capacity will triple over 2024-2050.

Global electrical capacity will triple over 2024-2050.

Following the increasing electricity needs, installed capacity will surge. It is multiplied by about 2.9 from today to 2050 according to our EnerBlue scenario (NDCs & announced pledges), reaching 27 TW, of which 87% are renewables (mainly wind and solar). The Asia-Pacific region accounts for almost 60% of capacities in 2050. Nuclear keeps a stable share about 4% in the capacity mix.
