Renewables share of the power system is rapidly growing, but the growth in clean energy generation is not keeping up with "galloping" demand for electricity, the IEA warned. Last year, the deficit between demand and clean power capacity helped to drive a surge in coal-fired generation, as operators looked to sidestep record gas prices.
