Retrieved on: 
Monday, January 16, 2023

Fossil fuel demand has peaked in the electricity sector.

Key Points: 
  • Fossil fuel demand has peaked in the electricity sector.
  • As solar and wind advance further up the S-curve, their electricity generation will increase at least threefold by the end of the decade, meaning that by 2030, fossil fuel demand will clearly be in decline.
  • Meanwhile, China is on track to reach its 2030 solar and wind deployment targets by 2025, meaning the peak there is also near.
  • The full report detailing the data and evidence showing peak fossil fuel demand in the electricity sector will be available at rmi.org on January 19th.
