Band 5+: The pie charts below compare the proportion of energy capacity in gigawatts (GW) in 2012 with predictions for 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie charts show the difference in energy capacity between 2012 and the expected values for 2030.

By 2030, the most significant fall is expected to be in fossil fuels, with a reduction of 20 percentage points, from 64% in 2012 to 44% in 2030. In contrast, and increase in predicted in solar sources, from 2% to 18%. It is forecast that another rise will be in the proportion of the capacity for wind, with an increase of 7 percentage points. A smaller difference in predicted in the proportion of nuclear energy, with only a slight decline from 6% to 5% and the flexible capacity is expected to double from 1% to 2%. Meanwhile, other renewables are estimated to decline from 22% to 19%.

In conclusion, by 2030 the energy situation is expected to experience significant Changes, with a notable decline in fossil fuels and an increase in renewable energy sources, particularly solar and wind. While nuclear energy and other renewable are expected to experience smaller changes, the total energy produced will increase twofold, hitting 10.569 GW from 5.579 GW
