Renewable Energies and Nuclear Generation Will Replace Coal in 3 Years, Report Says. Highlighting Solar Photovoltaic Energy in the Electricity Matrix.
A report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) pointed out that renewable sources are expected to account for 37% of electricity generation worldwide by 2026, showing a significant increase compared to the 30% recorded in 2023.
This growth is primarily driven by the expansion of solar photovoltaic energy, which is becoming increasingly cost-accessible. In addition, the report highlights the importance of renewable energies such as nuclear, wind, and hydropower to achieve this ambitious goal.
Renewable Sources on the Rise
The agency also claims that the rapid growth of renewable energies, supported by the increase in nuclear generation, is expected to replace coal in the next three years.

Toward Sustainability: Renewable Energies in Brazil
The IEA presents ambitious forecasts for Brazil. According to the agency, renewable sources will account for 95% of the Brazilian electricity matrix by 2026.
The Importance of Solar and Wind Energies
The report highlights solar and wind energies.
Growth Forecast for Renewable Energies
‘By 2026, we expect that most of the new electricity demand in Brazil will be met by wind and solar photovoltaic energy. In our forecast, the combined generation of wind and solar photovoltaic energy in 2026 will be almost 50% greater than in 2022’, concluded the document.
