India Assures Power Supply Amid El Nino; Global Demand to Rise with Renewables Growth
India's Ministry of Power reported an installed generation capacity of 548.86 GW as of June 2026, assuring adequate power availability despite concerns over El Nino's impact on demand and hydropower. Globally, the International Energy Agency forecasts electricity demand growth of 3.6% in 2026 and 3.8% in 2027, driven by data centers, electric vehicles, and cooling needs. Rising gas prices have led to increased coal use, while renewables are expanding their share, supporting energy security amid geopolitical tensions.
