Grids are the backbone of the energy transition, yet over 3,000 GW of renewable projects remain stuck in connection queues. To address this challenge, the Green Grids Initiative (GGI) has launched 𝟭𝟬 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀. These principles provide a clear framework to identify grid projects eligible for climate finance, build trust for co-financing, and drive transformative change, particularly in emerging and developing economies. By prioritizing grid investment, we can unlock the future of clean energy and accelerate the path to a greener, more sustainable world. Learn more and join the movement!

This week in London at Loughborough University took place the "Train the Trainers" event for the Electricity Transition Playbook. I cannot thank enough Jairo Quiros-Tortos and Marcus Stewart for giving me the opportunity to take part into this workshop as Latin America representative. This has been an amazing chance to provide inputs and improve the methodology to deliver this course and foster the low-emissions transition around the world. A huge thank you as well to the Green Grids Initiative (GGI) and Climate Compatible Growth #CCG for making this possible. I am already looking forward to the next steps.

🇬🇧£77 billion for #UK #Grids: “most significant step forward in the electricity network that we’ve seen in a generation” - John Pettigrew, National Grid Financial Times highlights a transformative moment for Britain’s electricity networks. With National Grid, ScottishPower, and SSEN Transmission committing to a combined £77.4 billion investment between 2026 and 2031, the UK is taking an unprecedented leap to meet its 2030 electricity decarbonisation targets. This investment will address critical bottlenecks: 🔌 Reinforcing and expanding transmission capacity to accommodate the growing influx of #WindPower and #SolarPv. ⚡ Resolving the backlog of connection requests that has delayed renewable projects. 3000GW of renewable energy are stuck in connection queues globally.

Green Targets Britain's electricity transmission article on the Financial Times. Important points on the impact that building grid infrastructure can have on the consumers electricity bills and, on the social acceptance. #EnergyTransition #ElectricityGrids #3xRenewables #GGI

#Grids are the unsung heroes of the energy transition. Yet, with over 3,000 GW of renewable projects stuck in the queue, it's clear we need to supercharge grid investment to unlock the future of clean energy. The Green Grids Initiative (GGI) has launched 10 Climate Finance Principles to address this challenge. These principles provide a framework to help investors identify contexts where grid projects would be catalytic to greening the electricity system, especially in emerging and developing economies. The principles help: ✅ Define which grid projects qualify for climate finance ✅ Build trust for co-financing ✅ Enable transformative change in emerging markets Explore the solutions ⤵️ Authors: Lucia F.

Global goal on grids for 2030 ✅ Major economies signed up to support ✅ Now we need to talk about implementation... Although this is a 🌍 goal, most grids being built and upgraded will be in EMDEs. By 2050, while total grid length will double, grid length in EMDEs will need to triple! All of this means rapidly (1) scaling up 💲 (2) access to global expertise, and (3) building out supply chains. Roll on #COP30!! 👊

We're among the 100+ countries & organisations supporting global storage & grid targets for a flexible #energytransition! ⚡ The COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge has the support of 58 governments, including major players from all continents such as Brazil, Kenya, the USA, Ukraine, Pakistan, Morocco, Uruguay, Congo, Peru, Venezuela, Malaysia, Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, numerous European countries, and dozens of organisations. These signatories are taking the lead in implementing the ambitious #3xRenewables target agreed at COP28, with action-oriented goals for #storage and #grids set by the COP29 Azerbaijan Presidency: ✅ Deploying 1,500 GW of energy storage ✅ Doubling global grid investments ✅ Developing 25 million kilometers of grid infrastructure by 2030 This marks the first time that energy storage and grids have been officially acknowledged as imperative components of the energy transition. They are essential for providing the flexibility needed to achieve the tripling of renewables target, turning ambition into action. Wider participation is now required to fully unlock the potential of renewable energy and ensure energy security for all. With #COP30 on the horizon, we call for further endorsements and translation of these targets into actionable national plans. 🔗 Support the pledge and see more: https://lnkd.in/dciexAW2 #COP29 #3xRenewables #Time4Action #NowDeliverChange
