As more and more countries are industrialised, energy consumption is increasing. World energy consumption has risen by 25 since last century. Average electricity consumption per capita is about ten times higher in industrialized countries than in the developing world. However, demand is growing up almost 5% annually all over the world, so we’ll need new sources of renewable and sustainable energy such as solar power.
