📢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/…

In the rest of #Asia excluding ASEAN, East Asia & the Pacific, @IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario shows #renewable power expanding significantly through 2050. World Energy Transition Outlook 2026 highlights that regional pathways will differ according to resources, infrastructure readiness and development priorities.

Speaking to @CNBC during @SIEW_sg, Director-General @flacamera highlighted the need for bringing the increasing renewable power capacity to users through modernised grids & more flexibility. Infrastructure is key to turn renewable electricity into economic benefits. Watch the full interview⤵️ cnbc.com/video/2026/10/27/ne…

Domestic #renewables offer protection from volatile fossil-fuel prices, hence supporting affordable electricity while increasing countries' energy security. In Southeast #Asia, existing renewable fleet already saved Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines around US$5.7 billion in coal & gas purchases in 2025. Learn more: irena.org/Publications/2026/…

🗞️Director-General @flacamera told @CNA during @SIEW_sg this week that progress towards the 2030 renewable energy target is advancing, but faster action & energy efficiency will be key to staying aligned w/ rising energy demand. @IRENA remains committed to bring the transition's roadmap back on track.

#DYK? 🤔According to @IRENA’s World Energy Transition Outlook 2026, #ASEAN’s renewable power capacity would need to grow rapidly, from 124 GW in 2025 to 755 GW by 2035 under the 1.5°C Scenario. As #renewables-based electrification expands across transport, buildings & industry, integrated planning will be key to ensure renewable power, grids & storage advance together.

Southeast Asia’s #energytransition is an economic opportunity. As electricity demand grows, #renewable-based electrification and regional power connectivity can strengthen energy security, drive green industrialisation and build economic resilience. Read more👇irena.org/News/articles/2026…

As solar PV☀️ deployment grows, managing end-of-life panels sustainably is essential to reduce environmental impacts. Upcoming @IRENA Insights webinar will explore future solar PV waste projections, circular economy solutions & the policies needed to scale up sustainable end-of-life management.

In rural Sarawak, #Malaysia, solar☀️ brought more than electricity. For Unjam & Maja, work on village solar projects led to new skills, certification & permanent jobs, while their communities gained reliable power and lower fuel costs. Their story shows how the #EnergyTransition can create local value: irena.org/News/articles/2023…

East #Asia & the #Pacific are set for a major expansion of renewable power under @IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario. By 2050, capacity would reach around 11.8 TW, with grids, storage & system flexibility needing to keep pace. Explore World Energy Transition Outlook 2026👇 irena.org/Publications/2026/…

Under @IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario, what could #ASEAN’s electrification rate reach by 2050 as renewables-based electrification advances?

Electric transport needs charging infrastructure - a priority in @IRENA’s World Energy Transition Outlook 2026. A homemaker in #Bangladesh found an economic opportunity in the shift towards electric transport: solar-powered battery swapping cabinets for e-tuk-tuks helped lift her monthly income from $25 to over $122. Read Jorna's story to learn about the transforming impact of #renewables: irena.org/News/articles/2026…

As African countries scale up #RenewableEnergy, power utilities are managing increasingly complex systems. @IRENA through the Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa & Utilities for Net Zero Alliance is convening an online workshop for African utilities to strengthen capabilities in ensuring reliable, secure & affordable electricity systems.

The objective of the #EnergyTransition is not simply to add renewables to existing fossil fuel systems. The objective is to progressively replace fossil fuel technologies with more efficient, electrified & #renewable-based alternatives. @IRENA’s World Energy Transition Outlook 2026 shows how⤵️ irena.org/Publications/2026/…

For many rural communities in West #Africa, reliable & affordable electricity remains out of reach. ☀️Solar PV mini-grids paired with batteries can help extend access where grid expansion is constrained. @IRENA’s analysis reinforces a key message of World Energy Transition Outlook 2026: #energytransition planning must explicitly recognise the role of mini-grids & off-grid systems as part of integrated electrification strategies.

Every investment in renewable energy is also an opportunity to invest in people, skills and local livelihoods.👩‍🏭 @IRENA's World Energy Transition Outlook 2026 makes the employment potential clear & projects that global #renewable energy employment is projected to reach 84.2 million jobs by 2050, up from around 16 million in 2024.

Decarbonising heavy industry requires scalable solutions that turn electricity into stored heat. Thermal energy storage is one form of long duration energy storage that offers one way to meet this need, while avoiding up to 2.3 gigatonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year. Join @IRENA & @LDESCouncil's webinar to explore the technologies, policies & market conditions needed to scale it. Register: irena.org/Events/2026/Oct/Un…

#Renewables are the cheapest, most cost-competitive source of new power in most parts of the world. As power markets running on renewables become more economically viable, greater electricity competitiveness could lead to 15% lower end-user prices by 2050.
