International Energy Agency (IEA)
Abstract: IEA?s flagship annual report predicts a surge in electricity demand through 2027, driven by EVs, heating electrification, and data centers. Consumption will grow by 3,500 TWh?equivalent to Japan?s yearly usage. Renewables will meet 95% of new demand, led by solar PV and wind, while nuclear rebounds. Fossil generation stagnates. Key sections address resource adequacy, pricing volatility, and climate resilience amid extreme weather. Kenya is spotlighted for grid access challenges and clean energy aspirations.
