Inflation across the OECD, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), increased to 4 per cent in March 2026 from 3.4 per cent in February. The rise was primarily driven by a sharp increase in energy inflation.
OECD net electricity generation reached 920.8 TWh in February 2026, up 0.8 per cent year-on-year. Fossil fuels supplied 45.4 per cent of output despite declining 4.7 per cent, while renewables contributed 37.8 per cent and nuclear power accounted for 15.7 per cent of generation.
