Tripling renewable energy by 2030 is transforming lives across agriculture, healthcare, small businesses, fisheries, and education, driving sustainable development and economic growth in communities worldwide.

Digitalisation and artificial intelligence-based applications are becoming gamechangers for the energy transition. They cut electricity costs for end-users, increase energy security, improve business performance, and help integrate low-cost renewables, according to a new report.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) convenes its 30th Council meeting tomorrow in Abu Dhabi to review progress on the Agency’s work and consider collective priorities to accelerate the global energy transition, as preparations advance for COP30 and the 16th IRENA Assembly.
