Expanding Battery Storage and Grids Essential to Triple Renewable Energy Capacity by 2030 ⚡🌍

A recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) emphasizes that achieving the ambitious goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, as set during last year's COP28 climate summit, is feasible. However, urgent action is needed to enhance electric grid connections and increase battery storage capabilities. ⚡🔋
The IEA outlines that favorable economics, robust manufacturing potential, and supportive policies make this goal attainable. To fully realize this vision, countries must develop an extensive infrastructure, including the construction of 25 million kilometers (approximately 15.5 million miles) of transmission lines and an additional 1,500 gigawatts (GW) of energy storage capacity by 2030. This would represent a staggering 15-fold increase compared to current levels. 📈🏗️
The report serves as a call to action for nations to expedite investments in renewable energy technologies and grid enhancements to meet global climate targets and support sustainable energy transitions. 🌱
