Even w/ faster deployment, renewables alone will not be sufficient. Without modern grids, adequate flexibility & storage at scale, #renewableenergy cannot deliver socioeconomic benefits, competitiveness & energy security. Excellent discussion w/ the private sector at #IRENA16A.
@IRENA puts grid infrastructure expansion and modernisation as crucial to the #3xRenewables goal, but implementation needs funding. How can the public & private sectors work closely together to ensure the investment needs—USD 671 bn/year until 2030—are met? At #IRENA16A, leaders

In my conversation with @Forbes, I underlined that the energy transition is not only about adding new renewable capacity. It is a systemic transformation that requires modern grids and infrastructure to deliver secure, affordable energy at scale. ⤵️ https://t.co/0QTD1cKNCT

Global energy investment hit $2.4 trillion in 2024, but bottlenecks in the grid, transmission, and permitting threaten the renewable energy transition.
