The International Energy Agency reported a significant rise in global electricity demand, making it challenging for countries to reduce emissions and meet climate goals.
The world is on track to add Japan's annual electricity demand each year due to surging power needs for factories, electric vehicles, air conditioners, and data centers.
To achieve climate targets, countries must double the pace at which they build low-carbon electricity sources by 2035, which seems increasingly difficult.
Fatih Birol emphasized that we are entering the 'age of electricity,' which is set to fundamentally transform the global energy landscape.
