A revised 1.5 C scenario calls for a significant increase in the role of electricity in the global energy system, rising from around 23% today to the 35% target by 2035, then to above 50% by 2050 at which point electricity would be the dominant energy carrier in the global energy system.

IRENA’s report says this rising demand for electricity will be met mostly by renewables. It sets a target of 18.4 TW of global installed renewable capacity by 2035, increasing to 38.2 TW by 2050, to meet targeted electrification. Global renewables capacity reached 5.14 TW by the end of 2025, according to a recent IRENA report.

Norway Faces Energy Shortage As Lack Of Winter Snow Depletes Reservoirs - CleanTechnica
https://cleantechnica.com/2026/04/03/norway-faces-energy-shortage-as-lack-of-winter-snow-depletes-reservoirs/

This winter was Norway’s coldest since 2010, the result of persistent high pressure near Greenland that blocked flows of moist Atlantic air into the Nordic region, Bloomberg says. With little precipitation, snow reserves have fallen to their lowest levels in two decades, creating a deficit of about 25 TWh of electricity — equal to 20% of Norway’s total hydropower output last year, according to Tuomo Saloranta, a hydrologist at the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate.

Consumers are already feeling the pinch. Electricity sales to the UK and Germany — major export markets — have plunged by about 50% and 40% respectively this year. In northern Sweden, energy prices are up more than four times over 2025 levels.
