Solutions Take Centre Stage at COP30, Marking a New Era of Accelerated Climate Action. Read it here.

1. Tripling renewables and doubling energy efficiency

Expansion and resilience of power grids

The expansion and resilience of power grids spans infrastructure, resilience technologies, regulation, financing, supply chains, and social development. As demand for energy and electrification increases, it becomes a critical matter to enable the integration of renewables on the energy supply and avoid future shortages, price volatility and reliance on fossils.

How this solutions relates to the action agenda

Axis: Transitioning Energy, Industry, Transport

Key Objective: 1. Tripling renewables and doubling energy efficiency

Why it matters

Global electricity demands are set to rise by +150% from 2022 to 2050 and the expansion of the power grids is essential to avoid price spikes that could reach 40-100% of annual averages4, frequent economy-harming blackouts and lock-in to fossils.
