Global Electricity Demand is Growing Faster than Renewables, Driving Strong Increase in Generation From Fossil Fuels
Renewables are expanding quickly but not enough to satisfy a strong rebound in global electricity demand this year, resulting in a sharp rise in the use of coal power that risks pushing...
Hydropower Has a Crucial Role in Accelerating Clean Energy Transitions to Achieve Countries’ Climate Ambitions Securely
The growth of hydropower plants worldwide is set to slow significantly this decade, putting at risk the ambitions of countries across the globe to reach net-zero emissions while ensuring reliable and affordable...
Clean Energy Demand For Critical Minerals Set to Soar as the World Pursues Net Zero Goals
Supplies of critical minerals essential for key clean energy technologies like electric vehicles and wind turbines need to pick up sharply over the coming decades to meet the world’s climate goals, creating...
Five Milestones in Green Energy
Energy accounts for two-thirds of total greenhouse gas, so embracing cleaner sources is key to fighting climate change.And while the energy transition still has a way to go, renewable energy is nonetheless on...
Eastern and Southern Africa’s Vast Renewables Potential Offers Route to Sustainable Growth
Eastern and Southern Africa are vast, geographically diverse regions with rapidly growing populations and rising demands for energy. According to master plans for the two regional power pools, electricity demand is set...
Solar and wind in South Africa contributed more than nuclear energy for the first time
South Africa’s grid is dominated by coal. According to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), published in its latest “Statistics of utility-scale power generation in South Africa in 2020″ report, coal...
IRENA Report Identifies Policy Measures to Advance Jordan’s Transition to Renewables
A new report published today by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has identified a series of policy measures that can help advance the energy transition towards renewable energy in Jordan.

Support In a Crisis and Creative Development Programs
The success of any crisis management is affected by a number of factors, including the availability of the necessary equipment. It is a crucial lesson that we, as a society, had difficulties...
Latest EEA Study Finds Multiple Benefits of Switch to Renewable Electricity
The increased use of renewable electricity across the European Union has not only reduced pressures linked to climate change, but also to air and water pollution (particulate matter formation, eutrophication and acidification),...
As Climate Change Hits Harder, World Must Increase Efforts to Adapt
2020 was not only the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was also the year of intensifying climate change: high temperatures, floods, droughts, storms, wildfires and even locust plagues. Even more worryingly,...
IRENA and Pacific Community Announce Joint Efforts to Boost Recovery
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Pacific Community (SPC) will work together to support Pacific island countries transition their energy systems to renewable energy sources as part of a drive...
What Is Servitisation, and How Can It Help Save the Planet?
The rising global population and continuous economic growth are driving an increasing demand for energy. Global energy consumption is expected to nearly double by the year 2050, further enhancing the challenge to...
Iowa’s Largest Solar Power Plant Nearly Finished
Solar power continues to plow forward thanks to record-low costs that have followed a long, long slide (or at times avalanche) in solar panel prices. This week we got news of Iowa...
Countries Raise the Sails on Offshore Renewables Sector
Offshore renewables, including offshore wind, wave, tidal, ocean thermal, and floating solar PV, will witness substantial growth in capacity over the next decade and play an essential role in the global energy...
Islands Aim to Phase out Fossil Fuels and Build Climate Resilience
From the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean to the farthest reaches of the Indian and Pacific oceans, island communities face common and increasingly daunting energy challenges.
On top of their vulnerability to climate change,...
