Welcome #madagascar to @IRENA looking forward to engaging and partnering on accelerating #energy #transition

[IRENA @IRENA]

We are proud to announce that on 4 June 2026, Madagascar officially became the 172nd Member of @IRENA.

Welcome #Madagascar!

During a meeting with Francesco La Camera (@flacamera), Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (@IRENA), we discussed the development of bilateral and a Central Asia format, the financing of #renewableenergy projects, regional #energyintegration, and measures to accelerate the #greenenergy transition.

[Parviz Shahbazov @ParvizShahbazov]

The next Investment Forum on Energy Transition in Central Asia, jointly organised with the International Renewable Energy Agency (@IRENA), was held in Baku. Within the framework of this initiative, which aims to strengthen #renewableenergy connectivity between #CentralAsia and neighboring regions, to accelerate the #energytransition and to expand investment opportunities, we shared our views on the significance of the Central Asia-Azerbaijan Green Energy Corridor project. The Roadmap on Sustainable Development Goal 7 for Azerbaijan was also presented within the event.

[Francesco La Camera @flacamera]

Joined #BakuEnergyWeek & opened @IRENA’s Energy Transition Investment Forum for Central Asia.

With a well above-global renewable growth of 20% in 2025, #CentralAsia is emerging as hub & growth market for investment. Regional cooperation unlocks the vast #renewables potential.

[IRENA @IRENA]

⚡Electrification will dominate the new phase of global #energytransition. The share of #electricity in global final energy consumption would rise from around 23% today to 35% in 2035, & above 50% in 2050—making electricity the dominant energy carrier in the global energy system.

New report from @IRENA in collaboration with presidencies of @turkiyecop31 & @Cop30noBrasil provides a pathway for economy-wide #electrification targets of 35% by 2035 and 50% by 2050 for keeping 1.5 degree #ParisAgreement goal alive support #energy #independence & #transition

[Francesco La Camera @flacamera]

Renewables form part of many COP pledges. But the next frontier is electrification. Delighted to present our new roadmap on fossil fuel decline & a global electrification target ’35 by 35’ at the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial to inform decision making ahead of #COP31 in Antalya.

[IRENA @IRENA]

OUT! New @IRENA report released in collaboration with #COP30noBrasil at the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial warns that beyond today’s #energysecurity concerns, current energy systems remain structurally unprepared to meet the 1.5°C climate goal.

Whilst the global goals of #3xRenewable & #2xEnergyEfficiency by 2030 remain essential, they are not alone sufficient to achieve the global energy transition. As demand grows across transport, industry, buildings & digitalisation, the transition must now focus on electrifying these end-use sectors while transitioning away from fossil fuels → https://t.co/VwEAp3Jcq8

[Francesco La Camera @flacamera]

As the world enters a new phase in energy transition, @IRENA provides a practical roadmap for transitioning away from fossil fuels w/ renewables, grid enhancement & global electrification of 35% by 2035 – an imperative to enhance competitiveness.

[Francesco La Camera @flacamera]

For years, renewables were dismissed as unreliable. This argument no longer holds. 24/7 renewables are reliable and cost competitive.

The race is not fossil fuels vs renewables. It’s about who moves faster towards renewables.

[Francesco La Camera @flacamera]

For decades, energy security was measured by access to fuel. Increasingly, it will be measured by access to infrastructure, grids, storage and domestically generated renewables.

Spoke at the “Energy Transition Summit: East Med & Southeast Europe” in Athens this week.

New @IRENA report on #economics of 24/7 Round-the-clock #solar and #wind shows #renewable #power outcompeting #power from #fossil fuels. These improvements possible due to recent significant reduction in cost of #energystorage

[Francesco La Camera @flacamera]

New @IRENA report confirms: 24/7 renewables now match fossil fuels on costs and also deliver reliable, round‑the‑clock power.

As oil and gas markets are exposed to geopolitical shocks, we must insulate our economies with resilient renewable systems 👉 https://t.co/asWDT4t9Ho

New @IRENA report on #economics of #solar & #wind shows that 24/7 or Round-the-Clock (RTC) renewable power can out compete #fossil fuels #power generation thanks to significant #cost reductions in #energy #storage

[IRENA @IRENA]

NEWS! ☀️Solar & 🌬️wind paired with battery storage are reliable & already deliver cost-effective, round-the-clock electricity. 24/7 #renewables even outcompete fossil fuels on #costs in high-quality regions.
