World Energy Council, 2016
Scenarios are plausible and challenging alternative futures. In producing the World Energy Scenarios the World Energy Council collaborated with Accenture Strategy and the Paul Scherrer Institute to explore likely futures for the Grand Transition—a world of lower population growth, radical new technologies, greater environmental challenges, and a shift in economic and geopolitical power—looking to 2060.
This report presents three exploratory scenarios—Modern Jazz, Unfinished Symphony, and Hard Rock—that provide users with a common language for thinking and talking about current events. These scenarios provide energy leaders with an open, transparent, and inclusive framework to think about a very uncertain future, and thus assist in the shaping of the choices they make. Over a period of three years, the scenarios were built by a network of more than 70 members, from over 25 countries, and quantified with a global multi-regional energy system model.
