Renewable spurt pushes power towards emissions ‘tipping point’
PARIS: A rise in wind and solar production, together with more nuclear electricity, will dominate growth in global power supply over the next three years, curbing the emissions impact of greater energy use, the International Energy Agency said on Wednesday.
“The good news is that renewables and nuclear power are growing quickly enough to meet almost all this additional appetite, suggesting we are close to a tipping point for power sector emissions,” IEA director Faith Birol said.
The share of wind and solar in the power generation mix is seen rising to 35% in 2025 from 29% in 2022.
