Renewables will account for over 50% of all electricity generation globally
Digital Power 2030
In the next decade, humans will enter a new era of digital power. Renewables like wind, solar, and hydro power will replace fossil fuels as our main energy sources. Together we will drive this transformation, and build intelligent, low-carbon energy systems.
The digital and energy sectors will merge on a fundamental level, creating an energy revolution, facilitating a future where data will be used to manage energy flow in the "energy-cloud".
