ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM RENEWABLES WAS SECOND ONLY TO COAL IN 2017 - IEA
 World electricity demand increased by 3.1 %, significantly higher than the overall increase in energy demand. Together, China and India accounted for 70% of this growth. Output from nuclear plants rose by 26 TWh in 2017, as a significant amount of new nuclear capacity saw its first full year of operation.
Electricity generation increased by 3.1%, or 780 TWh, worldwide in 2017 as electricity demand rose faster than overall global energy demand growth.
Electricity demand growth in emerging economies remains strongly linked to rising economic output. In China, robust economic growth of nearly 7% and a warm summer drove electricity demand up by 6% (or 360 TWh). In India, demand growth of over 12% (or 180 TWh) outpaced the 7% growth in economic activity. Together, China and India accounted for 70% of global electricity demand growth worldwide, with another 10% coming from other emerging economies in Asia. India has made significant strides in improving access to electricity, with half a billion people having gained electricity since 2000 and a near-doubling of the access rate, to 82% of the population now, up from 43% in 2000.
Advanced economies accounted for 10% of electricity demand growth, with average demand rising by less than 1%. In the United States, electricity demand fell by almost 80 TWh compared with 2016. In the European Union, electricity demand growth of 2.3% (or 75 TWh) matched the estimated 2.3% growth in economic output. Electricity demand in Japan also increased by around 15 TWh.
Renewables accounted for nearly half of the global additional generation (at 380 TWh) required to meet increasing demand, bringing their share in global generation to a record high of 25%. Generation from renewables was second only to coal in 2017, and ahead of gas for the third year in a row. Despite strong increases in wind and solar PV generation, hydropower remains the largest source by far of renewables-based electricity generation, with a major share of 65% in overall renewables output. A strong year for hydropower in the United States and Canada more than offset a drop in hydropower generation in the European Union.
Among other low-carbon technologies, nuclear generation increased by 26 TWh in 2017, as a significant amount of the new nuclear capacity commissioned in 2016 saw its first full year of operation last year. Nuclear generation accounts for 10% of global power generation and grew by 3%, relative to 2016, with Japan contributing to 40% of this growth. Nonetheless nuclear capacity additions globally only just exceeded retirements in 2017.
Coal generation increased by 3% (280 TWh) in 2017 at a global scale, accounting for a third of the total growth and more than cancelling a 250 TWh decline seen in 2016. The growth of coal-fired generation was mostly in Asia, with an increase of 365 TWh. Although China and India dominated the increase, Korea, Japan and Indonesia also contributed significantly. Growth in Asia was only partially offset by declining coal use for electricity generation in the United States, the European Union, Russia, Brazil and South Africa.
Gas-fired generation increased by 1.6% (95 TWh) accounting for almost 15% of the total growth. This results from a decline of 7.6% (110 TWh) in the United States and a growth of 4.6% (or 205 TWh) in the rest of the world, with the most important contributions coming from the European Union, China and Southeast Asia.
2018 is the year of electricity at the IEA, in recognition of the rapid growth of electricity demand and the global transformation of electricity systems. For the first time, electricity will be the focus fuel of the forthcoming World Energy Outlook, shedding light on the key uncertainties of the ongoing transition – including the impact of digitalization and the integration of renewables – and analysing the implications for energy security, investment and environmental concerns.
