Global Energy
Explore how Rockwell Automation’s research reveals the forces reshaping global energy demand.
44%
growth in global power demand is expected by 2035, driven by population growth, electrification, and AI‑driven data center expansion.
34%
of global electricity in 2024 was generated from coal, making it the single largest thermal source.
33%
of global generation in 2024 came from renewables, up from 23% in 2015 — a decade of steady progress.
“Renewable energy isn’t just gaining ground — it’s accelerating. When you see renewables rise from 23% to 33% of global generation in less than a decade, it’s clear the transition is no longer theoretical; it’s happening right now.”
