Six principles, built on existing good practices and guidelines, can be used to guide nature-positive siting and permitting of solar, wind, and grid infrastructure  

As suppliers are racing to commercialise long-duration chemistries and second-life electric vehicles batteries to meet the needs of tropical conditions, there is an opportunity to make the technology more bankable and attractive for emerging markets.

Battery energy storage systems offer power grids key opportunities for better flexibility, renewable energy integration, and reliable power supply by storing excess renewable energy during low demand times to release during peak demand enabling higher renewable energy penetration and supporting global decarbonisation goals.  

Five policies and measures can help enable and accelerate the electrification of road transport in developing countries.

Green hydrogen offers Global South countries transformative opportunities for green industrialisation, energy independence, and economic diversification by leveraging their abundant renewable resources to become major exporters in emerging international clean energy markets supporting global decarbonisation.  

Digitalisation and the energy transition presents both challenges from rising energy demands and deployment gaps, and opportunities through smart technologies that can optimise renewable energy integration worldwide.  

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) officially launched its new podcast series "All Things Renewable" today.

Renewables maintain their cost leadership in global power markets, IRENA’s new report on Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2024 confirms.  

Renewables maintained their price advantage over fossil fuels in 2024.  

Renewable Energy Statistics 2025 released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) today shows that despite renewables capacity growing by over 15% in 2024, the growth gap widens across regions.

The Energy Progress Report 2025 shows that basic electricity access now reaches almost 92% of the global population, yet progress remains too slow to achieve universal access by 2030.  

This call seeks bankable renewable-energy in APRA countries to fast-track Africa’s clean-energy rollout, bolster green industrialisation, expand energy access and help member states meet economic-growth and climate-resilience goals.

According to the first Regional Energy Transition Outlook by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), published in collaboration with the European Commission, increased use of renewables also improves affordability and competitiveness by harnessing domestic, cost-effective energy sources across the EU.

IRENA Innovation Week 2025 brought together global leaders to accelerate a sustainable energy future powered by renewables and digitalisation.

The Government of Brazil and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) will co-host the 1st Energy Planning Summit on 3-4 June 2025 at the BNDES Headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.

The exposure of infrastructure such as wind turbines, solar panels, electricity grids and other renewable energy generators to the increasing occurrence of extreme weather events driven by climate change, highlights the urgent need to make renewables-based power systems more climate resilient.

This call intends to support ongoing efforts by Central Asian countries to increase the use of renewable energy to address the rising demand for energy, diversify their energy mix, support economic growth and meet climate objectives.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has been calling for stronger international cooperation to substantially increase the financial flows to the Global South. But reform must also be made in the way the international support is provided to these countries.

Limiting the global average temperature rise to 1.5°C will require decarbonisation across every sector and value chains by 2050. Sectors particularly hard-to-abate include road freight transport, shipping, aviation, iron and steel, and chemicals and petrochemicals.

Developed by Alliance for Industry Decarbonization (AFID), the Enterprise Twinning Platform is a dynamic online tool that connects AFID members and partners with external organisations to promote industrial decarbonisation through partnerships and collaboration.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has been calling for stronger international cooperation to substantially increase the financial flows to the Global South. But reform must also be made in the way the international support is provided to these countries.

The energy transition presents both challenges and remarkable opportunities. Through international collaboration, innovative governance, and investments in exploration, recycling, and technology, we can ensure the benefits of the clean energy transition are shared globally.

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s Renewable Capacity Statistics 2025, 2024 marks yet another benchmark in renewable energy capacity and growth.

Accelerating the deployment of renewable energy in Georgia can significantly boost the country’s energy security, strengthen its competitiveness in regional and global markets, and reduce the national energy trade deficit, according to the new Energy Transition Assessment released today by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).-

Through Energy Transition Accelerator Financing (ETAF), IRENA collaborates with partners to provide technical assistance, making more projects eligible for funding.
