Key Electricity Stats in 2024
Global Power Consumption and Clean Energy Trends in 2024
In 2024, the world's top seven electricity consumers—China, the United States, India, the European Union, Russia, Japan, and South Korea—collectively accounted for approximately 72% of global electricity demand. This concentration underscores their pivotal role in shaping global energy trends.
Globally, the share of renewables in electricity generation is set to exceed one-third by 2024, potentially surpassing coal for the first time. This transition is bolstered by the rapid growth of solar and wind energy, as well as a resurgence in nuclear power generation. The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that clean energy sources will cover all additional global electricity demand over the next three years, signaling a pivotal shift towards a more sustainable energy future
