Honoured to welcome 300+ delegates to the @IRENA Council, chaired by the #UAE. The economic case for renewables is clear. Energy is shaping competitiveness & the transition will define tomorrow’s economies. Our responsibility is to ensure that all our Members have a stake in it.

An average annual investment of ± US$3.5 bn is needed to advance Central America’s #energytransition through 2050. Held by @IRENA & hosted by @energiayminasrd, the High-Level Dialogue Day taking place in parallel w/ @OLACDE Energy Week in Santo Domingo focused on: → grid investment and regional interconnection → storage, digitalisation & modernisation → blended finance & public-private partnerships

⚡After a record 693 GW of renewables capacity was added globally in 2025, the focus is now on accelerating #electrification, grids & storage and building momentum for #ElectrifyNow on the road to #COP31. That's why this week at the Global Renewables Summit during #ClimateWeekNYC, electrification takes centre stage. Read more ➡️ irena.org/News/articles/2026…

Global #renewableenergy capacity grew faster than ever in 2024—yet the transition is not reaching everyone equally. While some regions are accelerating, others remain far behind. @IRENA's new data shows the scale, the gaps, and what must change to meet global goals. bit.ly/3IjdINm Watch the story unfold⤵️

Dr Binu Parthan, Deputy Director of Country Engagement and Partnerships (CEP) Division, IRENA, discusses the need to upgrade developing country’s infrastructure to meet new energy sources: “The grid infrastructure, the electrical system doesn't really have the capacity to absorb a lot of renewable energy, so there is a level of storage required”.
