The pie charts provided illustrate the changes in energy capacity, measured in gigawatts (GW), from 2012 to the predicted values for 2030.
In 2012, the total energy capacity was 5.57GW. The majority of this capacity was derived from fossil fuels, which accounted for 64% of the total. Wind energy was the second largest contributor at 22%, while other renewables and nuclear energy made up a smaller portion at 6% and 1% respectively.
By 2030, the total energy capacity is projected to almost double to 10.56GW. The distribution of energy sources is expected to shift significantly. Wind energy is predicted to become the largest contributor at 44%. Fossil fuels, while still a significant source, are expected to decrease to 19% of the total capacity. Other renewables are projected to triple their contribution to 18%. Nuclear energy is also expected to increase, making up 12% of the total capacity. Solar energy, a new addition in 2030, is predicted to contribute 5% to the total energy capacity.
In conclusion, the energy capacity in 2030 is expected to be more diversified and less reliant on fossil fuels compared to 2012. This shift towards renewable energy sources like wind and solar reflects the global trend towards sustainable energy solutions.
