Renewables could supply up to 67% of power by 2050

So what

Global power generation is set to roughly triple from 1995 to 59,000-72,000 TWh by 2050 under every McKinsey scenario. Renewables move from 19% to 61-67% of the mix, with solar compounding at 9% a year while solid fuels decline 4% a year. Utilities and industrials should plan for a renewables-dominant grid whichever scenario prevails; the open question is pace, not direction.
