By harnessing domestic renewable resources, countries are increasing #energysecurity, reducing import dependency & limiting exposure to fuel market volatility while advancing their #TransitionPathways. See how IRENA is supporting countries in their pathways www.irena.org/Energy-Trans...

Every added megawatt of #renewableenergy helps strengthen countries' resilience. Each different energy #TransitionPathway reduces dependence on imported fuels & increases resilience to external shocks. Watch how ⤵️

Every #TransitionPathway is unique. Countries are taking their own different routes towards a shared destination. Read the digital story to see how each route leads to the global #energytransition: www.irena.org/Digital-cont...

Advancing energy #TransitionPathways to deploy more renewables builds countries' energy & climate resilience. See how @irena-official.bsky.social supports countries to build more resilient energy systems for resilient economies ➡️ www.irena.org/Energy-Trans...

The global #energytransition is shaped by local realities. Follow @irena-official.bsky.social this summer for more.

🌏 The global #energytransition doesn't follow a single path. Every country is shaping its own #TransitionPathways, which contribute to global progress. Watch 👇

Global electrification of 35% of final energy demand by 2035 will require the share of renewables in global electricity generation to grow from 31.7% in 2024 to 78% by 2035 — around 2.5 times today’s level. Check out IRENA’s electrification roadmap → www.irena.org/Publications...

#DYK? Annual renewable capacity additions have increased notably over the past 25 years, reaching an unprecedented peak of 693 GW in 2025. This positive trend in installed capacity confirms that renewable deployment continues to outpace fossil-fuel growth → www.irena.org/Publications...

🚨W/ renewable power generation growing by nearly 10% in 2024—the fastest annual increase on record—renewables accounted for 31.7% of total global electricity generation. To align w/ IRENA's global electrification roadmap, this share must rise to 78% by 2035, around 2.5x today's level➡️ bit.ly/4yc5EmW

In Bugesera, Rwanda, women farmers are increasing production and improving produce quality with the help of a #solar-powered irrigation system. Their story demonstrates how renewable energy can support stronger livelihoods and contribute to #SustainableDevelopment. Read: bit.ly/3YzDsuu

Int'l public financial flows to expand #SustainableEnergy in developing countries reached 24.6 billion USD in 2024, but flows to least developed countries dropped by 11% from 2023. Explore the #TrackingSDG7 report to see the financing trends: 👉 www.irena.org/Publications...

📈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: www.irena.org/Publications...

Renewables are delivering more than lower-cost electricity. In 2025, existing renewable capacity helped avoid USD 480 billion in fossil fuel costs globally. More insights from IRENA's latest report ➡️ bit.ly/4b5k9it

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is seeking an exceptional international leader to serve as its next Director-General. The vacancy announcement for the Director-General of IRENA is available here → www.irena.org/About/Employ...

Renewable energy is proving itself as a geopolitical shock absorber. In 2025, the renewable generation of 3 import-exposed Southeast Asian economies—Indonesia, Thailand & the Philippines—displaced an estimated USD 5.7 billion of coal & gas that would otherwise been imported. More ▶️ bit.ly/4b5k9it

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!

⚡Electrification is a no-regret option for the #energytransition. A concrete end-use #electrification target of "35 by 35" can deliver benefits far beyond emissions reductions; it strengthens #energysecurity, resilience & competitiveness while transitioning away from fossil fuels. ➡️ bit.ly/4e0FsUs

⚡Electrification is emerging as a driving force behind the new phase of global #energytransition. The share of electricity in global final energy consumption is projected to rise from 23% today to 35% in 2035, & above 50% in 2050, with the rising demand mostly met with renewables. ➡️ bit.ly/4e0FsUs

Happy #WorldOceansDay 🌊 The ocean is one of our closest allies in the fight against climate change. It can also help power the #energytransition. Emerging ocean energy technologies harness the power of tides, waves & currents to generate electricity & heat, holding significant untapped potential.

⚡Electricity demand is rising rapidly as transport, industry & the digital economy electrify. Recent crises have also exposed the risks of fossil fuel dependence. Hybrid solar, wind & battery storage can deliver reliable 24/7 renewable power. Read more👉 www.irena.org/Publications...

Renewable energy systems are proving their ability to deliver reliable, round-the-clock power while enhancing resilience in an uncertain global landscape.

IRENA’s new analysis of solar-plus-battery hybrids across multiple countries shows that firm #costs have fallen from above USD 100 per MWh in 2020 to USD 54-82 per MWh by 2025. Further cost reductions of 40% by 2035 are projected as to new IRENA data. Find out why ➡️ www.irena.org/Publications...

The case for accelerating the energy transition is becoming increasingly clear, with renewables offering a more secure and cost-effective path forward.
