From Twitter thread by David Mitchell, founder of FindMyEV.com.au
Some one wanted a “normalised” graph of renewable additions vs nuclear. Here it is. Normalised against global population (kWh/capita). It’s not in kW because it’s not capacity, it’s production. So it’s global electricity production additions per capita, hence in kWh, [added production per person per year]
Renewables are in a classic exponential curve. Nuclear peaked in the 80s and has been falling ever since. |
Here are the IEA's data and forecasts for annual contributions to electricity demand, in TWh
Global changes in electricity generation, 2015-2024 yellow = renewables; green = gas; dark blue = coal; light blue = nuclear Observe how *all* incremental electricity demand in 2024 is met via wind, solar and nuclear See original chart here I don't know why IEA thinks the additional renewables supply will be falling from 2022 to 2024. Given the shock to the system from Russia's attack on Ukraine, I would have expected rollout of renewables to accelerate, not slow. |
