@IRENA Central America & the Caribbean Energy Transition Investment Forum held alongside @OLACDEORG Energy Week is now inviting attendance. The Forum seeks to unlock the region’s untapped #renewableenergy potential—around 180 GW—by bridging investment gaps in energy transition projects. Register by 2 October➡️ irena.org/Events/2026/Oct/Ce…
⚡Electrification & the transition away from fossil fuels require stronger grids. Today, infrastructure has become a bottleneck, w/ 2 500 GW of wind & solar capacity awaiting grid connection. Countries must invest in grids, storage & system flexibility to support reliable, secure & affordable electricity systems. Read @IRENA report 👉 bit.ly/4e0FsUs
Recent disruptions to global #renewables supply chains have increased costs & put projects delivery at risk. NEW @IRENA report examines how govts can manage these risks through renewables auctions, while supporting more secure & diversified energy transition value chains.

🔌Electrification is becoming the key driver of fossil fuel decline. As #electrification of end-use sectors increases, growing electricity demand is mostly met by #renewables & fossil fuels decline to 15% in final energy consumption by 2050. See @IRENA roadmap supporting the @turkiyecop31 Presidency's push for global #electrification of 35% by 2035 👉 irena.org/News/pressreleases…
As energy demand grows, #electrification is poised to lead the next phase of the #energytransition. 🎧 In this episode of 'All Things Renewable', @IRENA’s expert explains why the “35 by 35” target matters not only for climate goals, but also for reducing fossil fuel dependence & building more resilient energy systems.

From renewable power to an electrified economy – Korea’s plans to significantly expand renewables & renewable electricity generation by 2035 clearly demonstrate the scale of its ambition.
I look forward to working with Korea as next President of the @IRENA Assembly in Jan 2027.
Electricity's share of global final energy consumption is expected to rise to 35% by 2035, as #electrification expands across transport, industry, buildings & other end-use sectors. Find out how renewables-based electrification can support the next phase of the energy transition ➡️ irena.org/electrification

Global #electrification share is estimated to meet 35% of final energy demand by 2035, w/ 92% of global electricity generated from #renewableenergy. More on @IRENA’s electrification roadmap 👉 irena.org/Publications/2026/…
At #UNGA & #ClimateWeekNYC, @IRENA will highlight efforts to advance renewables-based electrification through Electrification Day.
Together w/ @turkiyecop31 Presidency, IRENA will convene partners to outline urgent, coordinated actions across the entire value chain to reach the global electrification target of 35% by 2035➡️ irena.org/Events/2026/Sep/IR…
This summer, power plants in Europe came under pressure due to low water supply, highlighting how climate has affected power systems.
In a new blog post, @IRENA experts highlight the importance of diverse energy sources, strong interconnections & storage to climate-proof power systems. Read➡️ irena.org/News/expertinsight…

Visited the Qinghai Province, one of China’s main hubs for solar energy. Seeing progress firsthand: Qinghai combines exceptional solar conditions, advanced storage technology, transmission infrastructure & supportive policies, making it a strategic location for large-scale solar.
⚡Electrification is a no-regret option for the #energytransition. A concrete end-use #electrification target of "35 by 35" can deliver benefits far beyond emissions reductions; it strengthens energy security, resilience, competitiveness & boosts economic growth while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Check out @IRENA’s data ➡️ irena.org/Publications/2026/…
@IRENA’s invites primary & secondary school teachers & education leaders to a 4-day virtual training course!
The course will strengthen their understanding of the #energytransition & offer practical ways for educators to teach these concepts to students.
