On January 24 local time, the latest report released by the International Energy Agency predicted that the global nuclear power generation would reach a record high in 2025. Due to the accelerated global transformation to clean energy, low emission energy will meet the global new power demand in the next three years.

The annual analysis report of global power market development and policy, entitled Electricity 2024, predicts that by 2025, with the increase of nuclear power generation in France, the resumption of operation of several nuclear power plants in Japan, and the commercial operation of new reactors in some countries, the global nuclear power generation is expected to reach the highest level in history.

According to the report, by the beginning of 2025, renewable energy will exceed coal, accounting for more than one third of the global total power generation. By 2026, low emission energy, including renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy and nuclear energy, is expected to account for nearly half of the global power generation.

According to the report, the growth of global power demand will slow down slightly to 2.2% in 2023 due to the decline of power consumption in developed economies, but it is expected that the annual average growth of global power demand will reach 3.4% from 2024 to 2026. By 2026, about 85% of the global power demand growth is expected to come from outside the developed economies.

The Director of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, pointed out that the current carbon dioxide emissions of the power industry are more than any other industry. However, it is encouraging that the rapid growth of renewable energy and the steady expansion of nuclear power will meet the new global power demand in the next three years. (Source: CCTV News Client)
