As the custodian monitoring progress towards global energy goals, @IRENA reports #renewables are gaining ground with record growth in the deployment of renewable power. But the world must still double today’s installed capacity by 2030, significantly improve energy efficiency & urgently expand grid infrastructure. Read the new UAE Consensus tracking report, released together w/ @turkiyecop31 & the @GRA_Renewables➡️ irena.org/Publications/2026/…

⚡ Electrification powered by renewables is a priority for the decade to 2035. @IRENA’s new report shows that electricity must rise from around 23% of final energy use today to 30% by 2030 and 35% by 2035, a milestone currently under discussion of the COP31 agenda → irena.org/News/pressreleases…

A record 693 GW of #renewables was added globally in 2025. But meeting the 2030 tripling goal will require more renewable capacity to be installed in the next 5 years than in all previous years combined. @AP looks at @IRENA’s latest findings from the UAE Consensus Tracking Report.

Commenting on @IRENA's report tracking progress towards the global energy goals, @GRA_Renewables Chair Ben Backwell underscores the importance for govts to work w/ businesses to address barriers to renewable energy projects. See the analysis ➡️ irena.org/Publications/2026/…

⚡It's 'Electrification Day' at #ClimateWeekNYC today! The ministerial meeting saw the @turkiyecop31 Presidency’s '35-by-35 Global Electrification Pledge' presented & @IRENA report tracking progress towards the UAE Consensus global energy goals officially launched. Co-hosted by COP31 Presidency & IRENA in close cooperation w/ @EU_Commission & @GRA_Renewables, the Day identified the required action for rapid renewables-based electrification.

Tripling renewables by 2030 requires adding ~1200 GW each year between 2026-2030. This means almost doubling the record of 693 GW the world added in 2025. ➡️Renewables gain ground but must move much faster. @IRENA’s latest report ➡️ bit.ly/4hnkOhL

Pleased to co-chair the @Turkiyecop31-@IRENA Electrification Ministerial with President @murat_kurum. We provide a forum for the international community to come together, align efforts & advance solutions towards the “35 by 35” electrification goal under the #COP31 Action Agenda.

How can #electrification change energy systems? @IRENA new visual story shows the numbers behind the recent 35% electrification by 2035 goal & what it means for countries' sustainable energy future. Read here: irena.org/Digital-content/Di…

Accelerating #electrification will require greater investment in grids, storage & reliable clean electricity, as noted by Australia's President of Negotiations for #COP31, Chris Bowen. See the investment & Infrastructure needs in the UAE Consensus Tracking Report ➡️ irena.org/Publications/2026/…

Electricity demand is entering a period of sustained growth as industry, transport and buildings electrify, advanced manufacturing expands and AI drives demand for new data center capacity. Masdar convened senior leaders during Climate Week NYC for the third edition of our Next Watt dialogue series, to help accelerate renewable energy deployment and address surging power demand. Co-hosted with @IRENA and @ADSWagenda, Next Watt: Meeting Surging Power Demand focused on the practical action needed to meet rapidly rising electricity demand while maintaining reliability and affordability. #Masdar #ThePowerOfNext #IRENA #ADSW #ClimateWeekNYC

I welcome the launch of the Global Grids Accelerator by @UN SG @antonioguterres during the #UNGA Climate Summit 2026 . Renewables are scaling at record speed but grids are not keeping pace. My message: no grids, no energy transition. The Accelerator ➡️bit.ly/3TQON9X

📢 1 week left to apply!! @IRENA invites youth passionate about #renewableenergy to express their interest in joining the #IRENAYouthForum 2027 in Abu Dhabi. Apply by 30 Sept👉 irena.org/Events/2027/Jan/IR…

📊 As Custodian Agency for tracking progress towards the UAE Consensus energy goals, @IRENA, together w/ the @turkiyecop31, Australia—as COP31 President of Negotiations—and @GRA_Renewables, will convene an official launch of the latest assessment of progress towards the global energy goals during #ClimateWeekNYC on 24 Sep in front of high-level government representatives & stakeholders. Stay tuned!

Over 2 500 GW of renewable, storage & large-load projects remain stalled in grid connection queues worldwide. At #ClimateWeekNYC, @IRENA, Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) & @GreenGrids held focused discussions on practical grid optimisation solutions & how to accelerate implementation ahead of #COP31.

Power grids are at the core of global electrification. But 2,500 GW of renewables & storage projects sit stalled in grid connection. Jointly w/ the Utilities for Net Zero Alliance & partners, @IRENA works with utilities to address challenges through implementation. #ElectrifyNow

This week at #UNGA & #ClimateWeekNYC, @IRENA is highlighting efforts to advance renewables-based #electrification, culminating on 'Electrification Day'. This Thursday, together w/ @turkiyecop31 Presidency, IRENA will focus on coordinated actions across the entire energy value chain to reach the global electrification target of 35% by 2035. Follow the week's events ➡️ irena.org/Events/2026/Sep/IR…

"Renewables can still close the gap towards 2030, but faster deployment, grids, efficiency & electrification are needed," says @IRENA DG @flacamera. @Reuters highlights how the latest assessment by IRENA, @cop31turkiye Presidency & @GRA_Renewables urges for grid expansion & scaled-up renewables-based electrification. More on Reuters➡️ reut.rs/4cVXPZG

Grids expansion is falling short to match the pace of renewable deployment. Nearly US$1 trillion must be invested annually within 2026-2030, more than 2x today’s levels. Missing grids threaten opportunities that renewables bring for energy security, economic development and climate protection → irena.org/News/pressreleases…

New @IRENA data: global renewables avoided almost half a trillion US$ in fossil fuel costs. With fossil fuel dependency driving higher food prices & inflation, any leader must be serious about cutting planet-baking fossil fuels & building resilience. bit.ly/4cV5TtE

@IRENA DG @flacamera calls for accelerated action to expand & modernise infrastructure for the scale-up of renewables-based #electrification. Read how electrification will take the 2030 global energy goals forward ➡️ irena.org/Publications/2026/…
