Electricity in June 2026: Demand Up 3.3% on June 2025

Demand in the 74 countries with data for both June 2026 and June 2025 was 2,343 TWh in June 2026, up 3.3% on June 2025. Those 74 countries cover 88% of world electricity demand (measured on 2025 demand), so this is a review of the reporting countries, not a world total. Low carbon sources supplied 48.1% of their generation in June 2026.

How This Month Is Measured

  • Coverage. 74 countries reported June 2026. 74 of them also have June 2025, and those 74 are the like for like set behind every figure above. Together they made up 88% of world demand in 2025. A month is published only when at least 10 countries and 60% of world demand are covered.
  • Not a world total. These sums cover the reporting countries only.
  • Carbon intensity. The figure for the group weights each country's monthly intensity by its generation; country rankings use Ember's own monthly intensity.
