Delighted to share @IRENA’s latest Renewable Energy Statistics 2026. Renewable electricity generation grew by 9.8% in 2024 — the fasted recorded growth ever. Renewables accounted for 31.7% of the electricity generation globally in 2024, find out more➡️ bit.ly/4pDvmx3

It is always a joy and privilege to meet @UN SG @AntonioGuterres. I thanked him for his tireless call to accelerate the shift towards renewables. We discussed priorities of the energy transition, from #SDG7 progress and electrification to high-level collaboration ahead of #COP31.

A pleasure meeting @flacamera, Director-General of @IRENA, at the #HLPF2026. We discussed the importance of accelerating the energy transition through stronger regional cooperation & partnerships, and explored opportunities for collaboration between @UNESCWA & @IRENA.

📈The latest #SDG7 data are in! In 2024, 92% of the world had access to electricity 💡& 75% to clean cooking. Renewables continued their strong expansion but financing constraints hamper equitable progress. Read more: irena.org/Publications/2…

Progress on sustainable energy goals 2030 tell two stories: 1 - extraordinary progress on renewables 2 - alarming gap on energy access with 655 million people still without electricity At the #HLPF this week presenting our new #SDG7 tracking report ➡️bit.ly/4vm0Wk1

The value of #renewables extends well beyond costs. Existing renewable power also provides a crucial financial buffer in times of fossil fuel crisis. Across 20 major economies, accounting for 4/5 of the world’s generation, renewable power in 2025 avoided an estimated USD 377 billion in fossil-fuel purchases. The geographic distribution of economic benefits mirrors the concentration of renewables, check out @IRENA’s new report on Renewable Power Generation Costs ➡️ bit.ly/4b5k9it

@KI_Agent $480 Billion Fossil-Fuel Costs Avoided by Renewable Energy Boom in 2025. New IRENA cost report confirms renewables not only cheapest new power but also prime geopolitical shock absorber to enhance energy security and economic stability. irena.org/News/pressrele…

The cost advantage of #renewables over fossil fuels continued to widen. In 2025, more than 90% of new renewable power added globally was already cheaper than the lowest-cost fossil-fuel alternatives. Conversely, for new gas-fired generation the combined-cycle costs rose in several markets as turbine demand exceeded manufacturing capacity.

UN - renewables are the cheapest new power. They are also a prime geopolitical shock absorber, enhancing energy security and economic stability. A new report by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that more than 90% of the utility-scale renewable capacity added in 2025 was cheaper than the lowest-cost new fossil alternative. In total, installed renewables helped avoid an estimated USD 480 billion in fossil-fuel costs in 2025, turning renewables into a geopolitical shock absorber against fossil-volatile systems in energy crisis. As United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said: “The good news is – unlike every past energy crisis – we now have a clear way out. A clean way out. Renewables are the cheapest, fastest and most scalable source of new electricity in most of the world.” Full report here: irena.org/Publications/2…

Since 2010, the cost of solar PV has fallen by 89%, onshore wind by 71% & offshore wind by 63%. Renewables are now the cheapest source of new electricity in most markets. New @IRENA report confirms the cost advantage of renewables over fossil fuels➡️ bit.ly/4b5k9it

OUT NOW! New report confirms the cost advantage of #renewables over fossil fuels. Renewables remained the cheapest source of new #electricity in most markets in 2025 while costs of fossil-generation continued to rise. In addition to technology, financing remains a key driver of generation #costs. Increasingly, it matters more where a project is built than what is built: national conditions explain around 2.3 times as much variation in financing costs as technology, finds @IRENA’s new 'Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2025' report 👉 irena.org/Publications/2…

Savings generated by renewables are growing, providing a built-in hedge against future fossil fuel shocks. This energy crisis has shown again: expanding renewables is a strategic investment in resilience & competitiveness ➡️ bit.ly/3RfhbBl

The business case of #renewables goes far beyond delivering low-cost electricity. How are renewables protecting economies from volatile fossil-fuel prices? Stay tuned for @IRENA's new 'Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2025' report!

As energy demand grows & fossil fuel markets remain volatile, #electrification is poised to lead the next phase of the #energytransition. 🎧 In the latest episode of 'All Things Renewable', @IRENA's expert explains why the "35 by 35" target matters not only for climate goals, but also for strengthening #energysecurity, reducing fossil fuel dependence & building more resilient energy systems. Tune in ▶️ open.spotify.com/episode/51sEFJ…

Electrification is rising across both G20 & non-G20 economies. By 2035, #electrification would reach 37% in G20 countries & 28% in non-G20 economies under @IRENA’s roadmap, highlighting the need for tailored pathways and investment across sectors & regions. More 👉 bit.ly/4e0FsUs @turkiyecop31

The #COP31 Presidency welcomes the launch of the #ElectrifyNow campaign at London Climate Action Week and is pleased to see alignment with the COP31 Action Agenda target of achieving a 35% share of electricity in final energy consumption by 2035. #COP31Türkiye #LCAW26

OUT NOW: #TrackingSDG7 report 2026! 🔸How many people still lack #electricity access? 🔸How many rely on dirty fuels for cooking, risking their health? 🔸How much int'l funds have been flowing to developing countries to deploy clean, #renewableenergy? See the answers ▶️ irena.org/News/pressrele… @IEA @UNDESA @UNStats @WBG_Energy @WHO

The latest edition of #TrackingSDG7 report puts the accelerated deployment of domestic renewables as crucial to achieve universal energy access while enhancing energy security. Today's energy crisis strengthens the case for that recommendation ➡️bit.ly/4ahIYHN

🔌Electrification is set to play a key role in the global energy system. As electricity demand rises across transport, buildings & industry, #renewables will provide most of the additional supply. @IRENA projects fossil fuels will account for just 15% of final energy consumption by 2050. Check out the data 👉 bit.ly/4e0FsUs @turkiyecop31

Electrification requires grids & strong supply chains across the world. Delighted to see @IRENA’s private sector partners of the Utilities for Net Zero Alliance pushing for supply chain resilience to ensure grids can keep pace with soaring energy demand. ➡️bit.ly/4aLrROC
