Despite progress, annual investments across key #energytransition technologies fall short. Reaching the global goal of #3xRenewables by 2030 requires annual investment in #renewables to almost double current levels namely in end-uses like heating & transport.

#COP30 #ClimateAction
A new report from @irena-official.bsky.social details progress towards #ClimateGoals such as #3xRenewables by 2030, warning that while progress has been made and targets are within reach, bold and immediate action is needed to meet the COP28 UAE Consensus.
Read the report here: buff.ly/OVOtlNN
Solar capacity additions are forecast to exceed the #3xRenewables goal by 2030 – but wind and hydro are falling behind.
Wind: 739 GW short
Hydro: 176 GW short
Even as capacity surges, national targets still lag across all three technologies.

Tripling #Renewables means tripling opportunity ⚡. 16.2 million people already work in renewable energy, and the transition could create 40 million jobs by 2050. #3xRenewables is key to sustainable growth & energy security.

NEW | Renewable capacity additions grew 29% annually since 2023 – outpacing the 21% growth needed to triple global renewables by 2030
With just 12% annual growth from now to 2030, backed by more ambitious national targets, #3xRenewables is still possible

The record #renewables capacity addition in 2024 is proof of the #RenewableEnergy boom & economic opportunity. But what does it take to keep on building the momentum to reach #3xRenewables goal 2030? Find out from @IRENA report: www.irena.org/Publications...
#3xRenewables is about both people and the planet.
By scaling up #Renewables, we power schools, strengthen small businesses, and create jobs, including for vulnerable groups such as women & indigenous communities. Learn more: irena.org/3xRenewables
Reaching #3xRenewables power capacity by 2030 is not just a target, it’s a necessity to drive #SustainableDevelopment, economic growth, community empowerment, and #EnergySecurity for all.
The path towards just, inclusive #EnergyTransition is through collective action. More: irena.org/3xRenewables
#3xRenewables cannot be achieved without secure, sustainable supply chains for critical minerals. At the @IRENA Council, Members explored how building #RenewableEnergy supply chains can drive green industrialisation in resource-rich countries, improving resilience & achieving decarbonisation goals.
Opening the 30th @IRENA Council, DG @flacamera stressed that #renewables are now a foundation of energy security and resilience, yet the current pace remains insufficient to meet the goal of #3xRenewables. “We need urgent, coordinated action, especially to close gaps in the Global South,” he said.
Happening this week! @IRENA 30th Council will gather Members in Abu Dhabi for strategic deliberation on the Agency's programmes, in its work to support countries' pursuit to achieve #3xRenewables goals in line with #UAEConsensus. Stay tuned for updates.
Despite record growth in #renewable capacity, power grids are not keeping pace. Expanding & modernising grids is now critical to integrate the levels of renewables needed to #3xRenewables by 2030. Read recommendations by leading power sector companies: www.irena.org/News/article...
📢IRENA at #ClimateWeekNYC
Focusing on the opportunities and challenges of achieving #3xRenewables by 2030, IRENA will engage in high-level events during #UNGA to strengthen global partnerships and advance the #EnergyTransition. Stay tuned: www.irena.org/Events/2025/...
In 2024, renewables represented over 91% of all new power. Yet this pace falls short to reach #3xRenewables by 2030. The next round of #NDCs is a pivotal opportunity for countries to raise ambition and align with the 1.5°C goal.

New IRENA data indicates slow progress rate towards #3xRenewables. At the current rate, total renewables capacity will reach just 10.3 TW, falling short of the 11.2 TW needed. IRENA continues to monitor progress, identify barriers, & provide guidance on the #EnergyTransition. bit.ly/3IjdINm
We presented EKOenergy's work to a delegation of city government officials from Danyang, Jiangsu, China.
We're always happy to share experiences with and learn new things from visitors from all over the world!
#3xrenewables
#3xRenewables is a global ambition to transform energy systems, but its benefits go far beyond energy. For communities, especially in EMDEs, tripling renewables means powering farms, clinics, clean cooking, and local businesses, driving inclusive & resilient development. www.irena.org/3xRenewables
#IIW2025 underscored that innovation in the #energytransition is not just about technology, it’s about systems, people, & policies. The path to #3xRenewables by 2030 lies in innovation that empowers economies and communities.
