Green Electricity refers to Electricity produced from renewable energy sources. It may be Co-generation also.
It is the only figured soloution for the energy supply road map. So it must and therefore it will.
Please define the energy crisis scenario you mentioned. Near 100% renewable energy systems can be easily realised. Therefore, renewable sources can contribute relatively more significant in the future energy mix.
Energy Crisis is the scenario of the fossil fuel based power plants. The world Electricity demand gap is having a stiff raise as there is rapid increase in consumers but stagnant in production through fossil fuel based plants.
I am inclined to agree with Mohamed Azab . It could one day address the gaps in energy demand. However, based on the current scenario green energy will mostly serve as either back up or the supply in distributed energy systems off grid.
Dear Singh,
I suggest to review the history of renewable energy resources.
As example, the starting point of solar PV systems was apeared with oil crises in USA at 1973. So it can but gradually!

To follow renewable energy sources in all sectors not only electric sector
May I remind , again and again, that in industrialized countries at least , the top priority is not to let the generation capacity continuously growing whatever is the primary energy source. Of course the lowest is the carbon intensity, the better it is ... on the condition that such "Carbon Intensity" is precisely and liably assessed onto the whole electricity chain from power plant to user's meter.
Renewables are, of course, perfect technologies when used intelligently, and not solely as CO² emission's killers, not ignoring too that, actually, when supplied such energy is not totally carbon-free.
Oppositely, in such industrialized countries, the energy demand would necessarily be stabilized through a nationwide voluntary energy policy. It is the Californian very successful way implemented since 40 years or so : comparatively to the whole US, State of California takes the lesad as one of the lowest in energy donsumption and CO² emissions and the highest as soon GDP is regarded (see i.e. "The Rosenfeld Effect")
Best regards
Jacques
