Almost 4,800 GW of renewable capacity growth is forecast globally for 2026–2031 in the IEA’s November 2026 outlook. This measures capacity additions, not continuous output, projects available for purchase or guaranteed deployment.
Planning implication — our interpretation: Pair generation screening with connection, operating and flexibility questions. Global growth does not remove local project constraints.
The IEA highlights the importance of grids and flexibility as wind and solar expand. Two sites with identical annual demand may need different solutions because their demand occurs at different times.
Planning implication — our interpretation: An annual energy balance is an opening question. Interval metering, tariff structure and control strategy belong in the next stage.
Schneider Electric’s service material covers efficiency, electrification and asset planning. Our scenario tool puts demand reduction before solar self-use so visitors can inspect the relationship.
Limit: No universal savings rate is assumed to be achievable. All planner defaults are editable illustrations.
Forecast; policy, financing, supply chains and connection constraints can change deployment.
