The pie charts below compare the proportion of energy capacity in gigawatts (GW) in 2015 with the predictions for 2040. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The charts show the expected changes in
energy
capacity
in 2040 compared to 2015.
The most noticeable feature is the drop in the proportion
of the annual gross capacity
of fossil fuels, with the projected capacity
almost doubling from 6.688 to 11.678 gigawatts. It is expected to experience a significant decline, falling from 64% in 2015 to 44% in 2040. By contrast
, it is predicted that there will be a dramatic rise in the proportion
of energy
capacity
from solar energy
with a jump from 2% to 18% in 2040. While
the proportion
of the capacity
for wind is anticipated to increase more than twofold from 5% in 2015 to 12% in 2040, it is estimated that other renewables will account for a smaller proportion
with a decrease from 23% to 21%. The projected proportion
for nuclear energy
will be 5% in 2040, a slight decline from 6%.
It is clear that
despite the decline in the proportion
of energy
capacity
from fossil fuels and the rise in solar and wind sources, the former will remain a major energy
source in 2040.Submitted by nutchanart.ku on
