Advancing energy #TransitionPathways to deploy more #renewables builds countries' energy & climate resilience. See how @IRENA supports countries to build more resilient energy systems for resilient economies➡️ https://t.co/tTCyf5VTDG
NEW @IRENA data confirms persistent regional disparities in #renewables expansion during 2025. Asia kept leading with 513.3 GW added, while other regions e.g. Africa & Oceania saw much less than 100 GW additions, exposing their vulnerability to high prices & stock shortage.

On #EarthHour, let’s highlight the importance of lowering our energy consumption ⚡️
#SavingEnergy and improving #EnergyEfficiency is not only helping the climate by reducing the need for polluting fossil fuels, it also contributes to taming your energy bill. Every hour⌛️
🌪️Climate change & extreme weather are placing growing pressure on power systems worldwide. What frameworks can strengthen the systems' resilience? Join @IRENA webinar as experts share strategies for resilient, climate-proof infrastructure👉 https://t.co/vFug3bXtt7
Desalination is critical for water security in many of the world’s most water-stressed regions
As demand for desalination grows, a shift is underway from thermal to electricity-driven systems

Trees are "biological machines." 🌳
Data shows:
- 1 tree = cooling power of 10 AC units
- Trees lower surface temps by up to 12°C
- Urban forests help slash energy bills & urban heat island effect
Time to move trees from the "Landscaping" budget to "Infrastructure"?
💧Hydropower takes 3rd place in terms of investment & capacity after solar & wind. Learn more about hydropower through country, regional & global data: https://t.co/McggKMbdqH
🌊Ocean #energy has significant potential, but global capacity is limited as it's still at pilot & demonstration stage. Meanwhile, #investment sees a decline, reflecting high upfront costs💰 & exploration risks. See more data on ocean energy: https://t.co/NeRuKTRsdZ
Progress on delivering electricity access for all is stagnating. 730 million people globally still lack basic access – most of them in sub-Saharan Africa.
Our commentary examines why momentum is stalling & what’s needed to drive action forward 👉 https://t.co/zX7F2u504D
As electricity demand grows, expanding grids & flexibility is key.
Today, thousands of gigawatts worth of projects are currently stalled in connection queues worldwide.
Grid-enhancing technologies & regulatory reforms could unlock substantial capacity 👉 https://t.co/dDAAL4Edxc
Data-driven planning is key to expanding #electricity access where it is needed most, e.g. rural communities. Learn how @IRENA supports countries to reach their universal #energyaccess goals through its Strategic Energy Access Planning Support (SEAPS) programme.👇
