Electrification with renewables could lift electricity to 35% of final energy use by 2035, backed by stronger grids, more investment and joined-up policy.
The Global Renewables Alliance hosts the Global Renewables Summit during Climate Week NYC to bring together IRENA and partners, advancing the tripling of renewables and accelerating electrification toward the COP31 Presidency's goal of 35% electrification by 2035.
With a total 5.15 terawatts (TW) of renewable power capacity installed at the end of 2025, the world can still close in on the gap to meet the globally agreed renewable energy goal but must move much faster.
Electrification with renewables could lift electricity to 35% of final energy use by 2035, backed by stronger grids, more investment and joined-up policy.
This report investigates the alignment between long-term energy scenarios (LTES) and long-term low-emission development strategies (LT-LEDS) to support more effective implementation of national climate and energy strategies.
This third edition annual report assesses progress towards two key goals of the Outcome of the First Global Stocktake at COP28: the tripling of renewable power and the doubling of energy efficiency improvements by 2030.
This report examines how renewable energy auctions can help manage immediate supply chain shocks and support the longer term development of more secure and diversified value chains.
This report assesses the potential of solar PV mini-grids with battery storage to deliver affordable electricity access in Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal.
The popularity and increased deployment of solar PV globally will lead to large amounts of end-of-life solar PV panels that could just become waste. This report examines how to process the global volume of end-of-life solar PV panels, which is projected to exceed 25 million tonnes by 2050.
This annual report monitors global progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, to ensure affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030.
