“In the global sunbelt, the collapsing cost of solar PV & batteries makes possible far cheaper & more rapid growth in green electricity supply than seemed feasible 10 years ago."

🌍 Global #electricity demand could triple by 2050 — from 30,000 to 90,000 TWh.
New @etc-energy.bsky.social report shows we can meet that demand with #wind & #solar — reliably and affordably — if we act now on grids, storage, and flexible demand.

Wind & solar can power the future but building reliable, low-cost power systems requires more than generation tech.
6 enablers are essential:
🧭 Planning
⚖️ Market Design
🔌 Grid rules
📊 AI & Data
🏗️ Supply chain & workforce
👥 Consumers
www.energy-transitions.org/publications...
As electricity demand doubles by 2050, grid investment must rise but with the right planning, costs per MWh can stay flat.
Smart regulation, spatial planning and DSF, amongst other levers, will be key to keeping grid costs low.

@etc-energy.bsky.social's new report shows that wind & solar-dominant power systems are competitive and reliable.
"Solar & wind could and should be the backbone of a decarbonised energy system", says @cleanpowerdave.bsky.social

Carbon market integrity is non-negotiable.
✅ Removals are essential to neutralise residual emissions that cannot be reduced
✅ All carbon credits must be high integrity = permanence, additionality, verification
Let’s scale carbon removals that work.
