A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted that nuclear power generation is on track to break records in 2025, driven by investments in reactors to support the global shift toward a low-carbon economy.
Countries like China, India, Korea, Europe, and Japan are expected to contribute to this surge, with increased output in France as well.
Additionally, renewable energy is anticipated to surpass coal as a primary power source early next year, as per the IEA’s report on global electricity markets.
The rise in electricity demand, particularly for low-carbon technologies like electric vehicles and heat pumps, is expected to be met by the continued growth of wind, solar, and other clean energy sources, constituting approximately a third of total electricity generation globally.
The report suggests that these trends signify the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era, marking a crucial milestone in the energy transition.
However, experts emphasize the need for deeper and faster carbon reduction efforts to address climate challenges effectively.
The IEA acknowledges the progress made but underscores the requirement for more significant and accelerated actions to combat climate breakdown.
