🌍 Global #electricity demand could triple by 2050 — from 30,000 to 90,000 TWh. New @etc-energy.bsky.social report shows we can meet that demand with #wind & #solar — reliably and affordably — if we act now on grids, storage, and flexible demand. Read the full report: buff.ly/IXhx0Jh

Wind & solar can power the future but building reliable, low-cost power systems requires more than generation tech. 6 enablers are essential: 🧭 Planning ⚖️ Market Design 🔌 Grid rules 📊 AI & Data 🏗️ Supply chain & workforce 👥 Consumers www.energy-transitions.org/publications...

As electricity demand doubles by 2050, grid investment must rise but with the right planning, costs per MWh can stay flat. Smart regulation, spatial planning and DSF, amongst other levers, will be key to keeping grid costs low. Full insights: www.energy-transitions.org/publications...
