Global electrical capacity will quadruple over 2020-2050.
Following the increasing electricity needs, installed capacity will surge. It is multiplied by almost 4 from today to 2050 according to our EnerBlue scenario (NDCs & announced pledges), reaching around 30 TW. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for most of this capacity. In terms of capacity mix, renewable energy sources account for the vast majority of capacities by 2050 in all scenarios, and reach over 86% in our most climate ambitious scenario EnerGreen.
EnerFuture provides energy projections up to 2050. Our service offers clear insight into the future of energy demand, prices and GHG emissions.

The Russian Ministry of Energy expects to increase Russia’s installed capacity to 300 GW by 2042, including 169 GW of thermal sources (coal and gas). Under the scheme, the ministry plans to modernise 67 GW from the existing capacity to ensure better reliability. The development plan is expected to be approved by the Russian government before the end of 2024.
