Did you know? The sound of an operating wind farm from a distance of 750 to 1,000 feet is no louder than a kitchen refrigerator or a moderately quiet room. In 2023, #ENGIE surged ahead, increasing its renewable capacities by 3.9 GW. This brought our total renewable installed capacity to 41.4 GW by year-end. Notably, the year was marked by the acquisition of BTE Renewables in South Africa! As we continue to harness the power of #wind and other #renewables, we're not only reducing carbon emissions but also keeping our environment serene. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dsYA9UVM #withENGIE

Harnessing the power of wind, #Mongolia is embarking on a transformative journey with the IFC - International Finance Corporation to elevate its energy landscape. 🍃💡 This strategic initiative to develop approximately 100MW of #wind energy is set to reduce carbon emissions and diversify Mongolia's energy sources, propelling it towards a future where 30% of energy comes from renewables by 2030. With IFC's expertise and a shared vision for sustainability, Mongolia's renewable energy landscape is poised for a remarkable transformation. #RenewableEnergy #FutureIsRenewable #IFC #WindPower #WindEnergy #WindPower #SustainableEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #SustainableInvestment #InnovationInEnergy Emmanuel Nyirinkindi Linda Munyengeterwa Thomas Lubeck Rufat Alimardanov Saule Imanova Bolormaa Chimednamjil Sean Whittaker Jason Lee Shobana Venkataraman

The first-ever Global Renewables Summit to drive action on global #3xRenewables target has been announced by a powerful cross-sectoral coalition 👏 To be hosted in New York, 23-25 September 2024, on the margins of the 79th UN General Assembly High-Level Week by the Global Renewables Alliance, and Bloomberg Philanthropies, in partnership with the Government of Barbados and Kenya, the European Commission, the COP28 UAE and COP29 Azerbaijan Presidencies, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), and the Center on Global Energy Policy. #GRS24 #Time4Action #WithHydropower Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) | Global Solar Council (GSC) | International Geothermal Association | Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council) | Green Hydrogen Organisation - GH2 ▶ Read more: https://lnkd.in/dT7ZeKSD

First-ever #GlobalRenewablesSummit announced to drive action to #triplerenewablepower by 2030 and advance global #energytransition during 79th #UNGeneralAssembly. : World leaders and experts'll meet in Sept. to exchange insights and mobilise action to help achieve a #cleanenergyfuture for all. Transitioning from coal and other fossil fuels to #renewableenergy is key to solving the #climatecrisis,” said Antha Williams, who leads the environment program at Bloomberg Philanthropies. “The world must triple #renewableenergy by 2030. The deployment and investment levels in emerging and developing economies remains far below the scale and pace needed. Rapidly scaling up deployment in these countries is crucial to curb #emissions and protect people’s health and our economies from the worst effects of #climatechange. Bloomberg Philanthropies look forward to bringing together world leaders and experts to exchange insights and mobilise action to help achieve a #cleanenergyfuture for all,” she added. “At #COP28, a coalition of private sector, civil society, governments, and multilateral organisations collectively secured a global target to #triplerenewables by 2030. Now, #it’stimeforaction. Renewable technologies are mature and competitive, and the industries are ready to deliver, but the right policy frameworks and implementation are now urgently required. We are honoured to co-host this unique public-private summit with some of the leading organisations in the world to ignite a worldwide race to the top, accelerating action on #finance, #permits, #grids, and #supplychains to unleash the full potential of #renewables,” said Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance / #GRA . GRA: Saga Henriksdotter Aitana Ramírez de Arellano Santiago ♻️ Trigya Singh Sonia Dunlop Ben Backwell The historic #globalrenewabletarget was not plucked from the air. International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s World Energy Transitions Outlook projected the need to #triplerenewablepowercapacity to over #11000GW globally by 2030 for a 1.5°C aligned pathway. Now, we must build on the success of COP28 and mobilize action. As global custodian, IRENA will monitor progress and provide recommendations across energy transition priorities and this first-ever Renewables Summit is an important milestone to maintain momentum and drive implementation towards 2030." - Francesco La Camera - Director General of #IRENA #RenewableEnergy #Hydropower #Solar #Wind #Geothermal #GreenHydrogen #FloatingSolar #Time4Action #WithHydropower International Hydropower Association (IHA) #PumpedStorageHydropower Rebecca Ellis Victoria Cardenas Debbie Gray Pablo Valverde
