World electricity demand is projected to grow at an annual rate of ~ 2.1% to year 2040₁. EIA projects nearly 50% increase in world energy usage by 2050 led by growth in Asia.[28];[29]. It is predicted that the global electricity demand grows at approximately 1.6 % per year from approximately 2008 and forecasted to approximately 2035, twice the rate of primary energy demand. This raises electricity's usage in total final energy consumption from approximately 19% in 2018 to approximately 24% in 2040. Electricity demand growth is set to be particularly strong in developing economies. .[28];[29];[38] As an enabler, to meet …
