Island energy systems require reliable & resilient power to support sustainable growth. A new IRENA brief shows how Cabo Verde can leverage #renewableenergy innovation to reduce power losses & improve system resilience. Read the full brief 👉 www.irena.org/Publications...
Regional trends highlight where growth is concentrated and where more deployment is still needed. See how capacity additions vary across regions: www.irena.org/Publications...
Renewables are growing at record pace globally, but the growth is not evenly shared.
At the same time, it is showing how #renewables can strengthen resilience, reducing exposure to volatility & supporting more stable energy systems. Read more: www.irena.org/Publications...
The current #energy crisis is exposing the structural vulnerabilities of fossil fuel-dependent systems.
For years, life in Santuario, Honduras, meant daily routines shaped by the lack of electricity. With the introduction of solar power + battery system, the community now has reliable electricity, improving their quality of life. Read their story: bit.ly/4goPoFm

💡2025 saw the world add almost 700 GW of total renewable power capacity. These numbers remind the world that countries w/ high share of #renewables can weather the current crisis w/ less economic damage. Read NEW @irena-official.bsky.social report: www.irena.org/Publications...
Where do #solarPV supply chain costs really sit? Join @IRENA experts for a webinar that unpacks cost drivers across each stage of manufacturing and what they mean for smarter, cost-efficient productions. Register here: irena-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
🔎#Renewables capacity performance 2025:
⚡ 85.6% share of total power capacity expansion.
🌍 Persistent regional disparity
☀️Solar still leads the renewables growth
Watch key highlights & see NEW @irena-official.bsky.social report: www.irena.org/Publications...
📢NEW: 2025 marks another record for installed renewable power capacity with almost 700 GW. Latest IRENA data proves renewables resilience amidst uncertain time, signalling countries to strengthen #energysecurity with domestic renewable sources. Read more📰: www.irena.org/News/pressre...
Stronger #energysecurity means less exposure to fuel shocks. Renewables provide stability, resilience and greater control through domestic resources.
From price volatility to supply risks, #energy systems face growing pressure. #Renewables are helping shift the balance towards greater stability & resilience.
Access to clean cooking is still off-track. Around 2.1 bn people, including 900 million in Africa, still rely on polluting fuels. New IRENA analysis zooms in on Tanzania, showing the importance of data for strategic financing decisions. Read the report: www.irena.org/Publications...
Clean cooking access remains a challenge for billions, esp. in Sub-Saharan Africa. As countries expand solutions like biogas, ethanol & electric cooking, improving affordability and managing existing fuels will be critical.
@irena-official.bsky.social wishes a warm and peaceful Eid Al Fitr to all those celebrating.

Improved #energyaccess from #renewableenergy expansion empowers communities around the world, who benefit from the created economic opportunities. Learn more: www.irena.org/3xrenewables
🌡️Temperature extremes are placing growing pressure on renewable power systems. Unprecedented heat pushed #electricity demand well above normal levels in 2024, exposing the need for climate-driven energy service & reliable supply. Learn more: www.irena.org/Publications...
When designed w/ nature in mind, #solar can do more than generate electricity. From supporting agriculture to restoring land & conserving water, nature-positive solar shows how #energy projects can strengthen ecosystems & livelihoods.
#Solar, wind & #hydropower depend on weather & climate variability, affecting renewable power supply & demand. Building resilient power systems will require smarter planning with date-based weather forecasts.
@irena-official.bsky.social & World Meteorological Organisation report highlights how record heat, shifting wind, solar & hydropower patterns affect #renewable power demand & supply. Read more to see what it takes to address it: www.irena.org/Publications...
Sustainable fuels from bio-based sources have a big role to play in decarbonising end-use sectors, especially the aviation & shipping. See what it takes to unlock this potential in emerging markets & developing economies: www.irena.org/Publications...
Under @irena-official.bsky.social's 1.5°C Scenario, liquid biofuels will be a key component in decarbonising the transport sector. For road transport, increasing biofuel blending ratios is crucial for decarbonisation. Learn more from Brazil's experience: www.irena.org/Publications...
