Is the title kind of misleading or am I missing something?
Title:
Solar to meet half of global electricity demand growth in 2024 and 2025
The electricity demand is still increasing:
Global electricity demand is forecast to grow by around 4% in 2024, up from 2.5% in 2023,
and if I got this right the projection says it will keep increasing another 4% for 2025
The increase in global electricity consumption is set to continue into 2025, with growth at around 4% again, according to the report.
So the title actually says that:
Solar to meet the 4% of the 8% of the global electricity demand growth in 2024 and 2025?
I read it as 1/2 of the 8% of growth. They later state that wind and solar combined is 3/4 of the 8% of growth.
Solar alone is expected to meet roughly half of the growth in global electricity demand in 2024 and 2025 – with solar and wind combined meeting as much as 75% of growth.
