Global electricity generation has seen consistent growth over the past two decades.
Data from the Global Energy Review 2025 shows a sharp rise from 2003 to 2024.
Between 2003–2007, the increase was minimal, but gains steadily accelerated in each subsequent period.
Notably, between 2015–2019 and 2019–2023, growth remained stable before surging again in 2024 to approach the 100% mark.
The upward trend reflects rising global demand, urbanisation, and expanding renewable energy investments.
Wind, solar, and hydroelectric sources are playing a key role in this growth as countries move toward greener, more sustainable power systems.
The 2024 spike indicates a significant leap, possibly driven by policy shifts, technological advancements, and increased energy access worldwide.
