Declining Population Reshapes Global Energy Demand
Dispatch Energy's February 2025 analysis examines emerging projections that global population may peak sooner than expected and considers implications for energy supply and demand. It highlights regional declines such as in Japan and rapid growth in India and other developing countries, noting doubling of air-conditioning units and aviation demand forecasts, and argues rising per-capita wealth could increase energy consumption despite population declines.
