The power sector experiences the largest growth in energy demand. Non-OECD countries account for over 90% of the projected growth in energy consumption and production. Energy efficiency improvements are necessary to limit the growth in energy demand required to fuel economic growth. The report examines trends in global energy supply and fuel mix out to 2030.
