The given pie chart provides information about the proportion of energy between

2015 and the predictions for 2040. Unit is measured in gigawatts.

Overall, it is worth highlighting that fossil fuels will remain the most important
part of energy through all the years from 2015 to 2040, while the opposite is true
for nuclear energy.

It is clear that in 2015 fossil fuels were the largest proportion of the energy
capacity at the rate of 64%. But it will decrease to 44 % in 2040 as well as other
renewables, which percentage will be declined by 2 %. Also, the nuclear power
will fall from 6 % to 5 %. However, this figure is projected to fall by 20% at the
end of the period. In addition, the percentage of other renewables stood at 23% in
2015 and it will have a slight drop to 21% over the next 25 years. In contrast, both
wind and solar energy are predicted to witness a dramatic rise in the proportion of
energy capacity. To be more specific, the figure for solar energy has a jump from
2% in 2015 to 18% in 2040, and that for wind will increase more than twofold,
from 5% to 12%. Regarding nuclear energy, the projected proportion will be 5% in
2040, a slight decline from 6% in 2015.
