The world is set to enter the “Age of Electricity,” as demand has grown more quickly than any other energy source and is set to accelerate even more, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) recently issued World Energy Outlook.
Fatih Birol, the IEA executive director, said, “In energy history, we’ve witnessed the Age of Coal and the Age of Oil – and we’re now moving at speed into the Age of Electricity, which will define the global energy system going forward.”
