Four Russian-designed VVER-1200 pressurised water reactors are planned for El Dabaa, which is on the Mediterranean coast, 170km west of Alexandria and Zafraana on the Gulf of Suez.

The global demand for natural gas is expected to increase by 1.6%, y-o-y, for the next five years, with the consumption reaching almost 4,200 billion cubic meters (bcm) by 2025, up from 3,800 bcm in 2018.

At the end of 2020, nuclear power's share of Russia's energy mix stood at 20.28%.

China announced its aim to increase its nuclear power capacity by 40% from 50 GW in 2020 to 70 GW in 2025. However, the 2021-2025 plan isn't expected to slow down the construction of new coal-fired power plants.

Fukushima has certainly left its mark on the nuclear industry. When the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami occurred on March 11, 2011, there were 54 nuclear reactors in Japan.

Australia exported a record 78.2 Mt of LNG in 2020, up from 77.5 Mt in 2019.

China said in its 2021-2025 five-year plan released on Friday that it would raise total nuclear capacity to 70 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2025.

Only a transition seen by all as being fair and equitable will command that consent, engagement and participation. We will therefore fail to make the transition if we fail to make the transition just.

The contribution of nuclear power could decline substantially in several leading markets while large growth is coming, as China takes first position within a decade

“We must emphasize in strong terms: cautious optimism, cautious optimism, cautious optimism.”

After hitting a low in April, global emissions rebounded strongly and rose above 2019 levels in December.

State Grid expects wind and solar installed capacity to hit 1,000 GW by 2030

Natural gas will overtake coal in 2025 and become the largest global primary energy source by 2047, with oil plateauing around 2040 and then beginning its irreversible decline

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) projects that solar and wind will form 51% of India’s total installed capacity, or 420GW, by 2030, with biomass and small hydro adding another 30GW, while the IEA’s India Energy Outlook 2021 says that India could add 900GW of renewable capacity by 2040.

Overall, Iberdrola’s operating profit fell by 3% to €1.2 billion (US$1.4 billion), driven by its recent commissioning of new plants as it ramps up its renewables capacity.
