Solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, bioenergy & oceans are helping countries strengthen their energy security & climate resilience at lower costs. Learn more about these different sources of energy: irena.org/Energy-Transit…

@IRENA wishes a warm and peaceful Eid Al Fitr to all those celebrating. #EidMubarak

⚡When energy systems diversify, energy becomes more affordable. #Renewableenergy lowers energy bills for consumers, reduces #fossilfuel reliance & empowers communities.

At least 16.6 M people were employed in #renewableenergy sector in 2024, proving that the #energytransition continues to generate socioeconomic benefits worldwide. But for the 1st time, the jobs growth was modest. What's affecting it? Read @IRENA-@ilo report to find out: irena.org/Publications/2…

Off-grid #renewableenergy solutions are helping close the electricity access gap in remote communities, powering facilities in communities. Read more on how these systems are expanding opportunities where grid access remains limited: irena.org/News/articles/…

Data-driven planning is key to expanding #electricity access where it is needed most, e.g. rural communities. Learn how @IRENA supports countries to achieve their universal #energyaccess through its Strategic Energy Access Planning Support programme: irena.org/Events/2025/De…

#RenewableEnergy is helping strengthen community resilience by providing reliable power that supports essential services & local development.

In rural Zimbabwe🇿🇼, #solarenergy is powering boreholes that provide clean water💧 to a school & nearby households, improving the community's health & nutrition. Read their story: irena.org/Digital-conten… #3xRenewables

Renewables are enhancing productivity & improving livelihoods. Across sectors, #renewables are powering progress. Read the article to find out how this progress changed lives in different communities worldwide: irena.org/News/articles/… #3xRenewables

Despite record additions, the world is still off track to meet global climate & energy targets by 2030. W/ most new projects already cheaper than fossil fuels, the challenge is no longer viability, but to mobilise finance & increase ambitions to close the gap. Read more: irena.org/Publications/2…

Improved #energyaccess from #renewableenergy expansion empowers communities around the world🌏, who benefit from the created economic opportunities. Learn more: irena.org/3xrenewables

#RenewableEnergy auctions help countries procure renewable electricity at increasingly competitive prices. But their success depends also on the impact they create. 🎧Tune in to the latest podcast episode of "All Things Renewable" as @IRENA experts explain why auction design matters & why no two auctions are the same: open.spotify.com/episode/2rgDtW…

As Fiji🇫🇯 aims for 100% renewable electricity by 2036 & net-zero emissions by 2050, the country needs to have its grids & transmissions ready for a #renewables-based power system. See actionable recommendations in a new report by @IRENA & Fiji’s Department of Energy through the #SIDS Lighthouses Initiative, to strengthen Fiji's regulatory framework for grid-connected electricity, transmission & supply: irena.org/Publications/2…

Long duration energy storage is becoming a key solution for integrating higher shares of variable #renewableenergy into the power system, but what will it take to scale?Join the 2nd part of @IRENA & @LDESCouncil's webinar series to learn how policy & market signals can accelerate deployment: irena-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

1/The Iran conflict will inevitably drive investment in renewables; essential to energy security & represent the cheapest power sources. Renewables benefit the economy & environment, providing the most effective defence against the leveraging of energy markets for strategic ends.

2/ I would like to express my deep gratitude to the UAE🇦🇪 for continuing to ensure the safety of all residents and @IRENA staff, and offer my condolences to the nation on the recent loss of two of its brave military personnel.

Auctions have become the leading method to procure #renewable power at low costs, but who shoulders the biggest risks? A blog post by @IRENA expert explains how auction designs can allocate risks more equitably & deliver beyond low electricity prices. Read the Expert Insights: irena.org/News/expertins…

Auctions are increasingly used for #renewable power procurement at low price. But auctions must not only achieve low electricity prices, they must support the achievement of development & economic goals. See @IRENA's analysis & recommendations on auction designs & trends which include lessons learned from different countries: irena.org/Energy-Transit…

Over the past decade, #renewableenergy costs keep declining - with #solar leading the surge almost each year. Will this continue in the coming years? @IRENA’s Saied Dardour shares insights on recent costs trends & what lies ahead.🎧Listen to the podcast now: open.spotify.com/episode/76lss2…

Fossil fuel dominated energy markets are shaped by geopolitics, creating volatility, uncertainty and energy security risks. More decentralised energy systems with more market players are structurally more resilient. My views via @RenewableMatter. ⤵️ renewablematter.eu/energia-geopol…
