📢OUT NOW: New World Energy Transition Outlook puts #renewables-based electrification at the centre of the implementation agenda for the decade to 2035. The share of electricity in energy consumption would rise 📈from 23% today to 35% by 2035 & to more than 50% by 2050, transforming transport, buildings & industry. Renewable power, electrification, energy efficiency, power grids, storage & system flexibility, and sustainable fuels must advance together. Read how👉irena.org/Publications/2026/…
