IEA: Die Welt steht vor einer beispiellosen Anstieg des Strombedarfs

**And it’s not just datacenters driving the need for 3,500 TWh of new energy generation by 2027**

The IEA’s report examines the current state of the electricity market and how it’s likely to change between 2025 and 2027, forecasting that the world is going to need an additional 3,500 terawatt-hours of energy generation to meet rising demand over the next three years.

That, the IEA noted, is the equivalent of adding more electricity consumption than Japan, per year, between now and 2027.

To put that into further perspective, Japan is the fifth largest consumer of electricity in the world, eating up more than 1,000 TWh of electricity per year. That’s a lot of juice to add to global energy generation in a mere three years, and most of that is going to be in emerging markets, the IEA said.

Luckily all wind production has stopped in US, and we can go back to creating more facilities to burn oil for electricity. Cause that makes sense.

its not just datacenters not at all, air conditioning and refrigeration has to compensate for rising avg temps, electrification of personal transport is another source of massive increased demands, and lets not even get started on the need for more water and requirements of desalination

need more energy density need to go nuclear
