2025 was a whiplash year for the US energy landscape. While #CleanEnergy deployment held strong, the future is less certain. Our new article dives into the state of the country’s energy transition, unpacking where we are and where we’re headed. 👉 www.wri.org/insights/cle...

More Electricity Grid Investment Is Needed in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies! Building and modernizing grids requires sufficient investment, especially in regions where demand is growing fastest.

From 2023 to 2024, demand for lithium rose nearly 30%, while demand for nickel, cobalt and graphite increased 6% to 8%. If governments stay on their current energy and climate trajectory, demand for critical minerals could double by 2030.

Emerging Markets Hold Big Opportunities for Clean Energy Investment! Energy demand is growing worldwide, creating investment opportunities across many countries. But financing is uneven: In 2024, emerging markets and developing economies received only 15% of global clean energy spending.

How can decentralized renewable energy drive equity? In India, local solar systems help farmers power irrigation, cold storage, and processing — boosting harvests and incomes. Women are often at the center of these gains. Read more: buff.ly/71vPryY #EnergyAccess #CleanEnergy

⚡📈 #CleanEnergy is key to meeting growing #EnergyDemand, but restrictive siting policies often stand in the way of expansion. What are these policy barriers and how can we overcome them? 👉 WRI experts explain: www.wri.org/insights/cle...

Most countries aim to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030, driving huge demand for critical minerals like lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements. Learn more about our work on energy minerals and circularity: bit.ly/4uvlaZh

Most global emissions come from a few sectors: industry (34%), transport (15%) and buildings (26%). Shifting energy demand in these sectors away from fossil fuels—through efficiency, low-carbon tech and strong standards—is one of the most effective ways to decarbonize. Learn more: bit.ly/3N4YqyD

Large energy buyers can accelerate the clean energy transition. In the U.S., commercial & industrial users consume over half of all energy. Our work helps cities and companies meet clean energy goals through smart purchasing, solar, PPAs and green tariffs. Learn more: buff.ly/6kHlJ5l

Join us on March 26 for a conversation on one of the biggest barriers to scaling clean energy. Utility-scale projects can deliver major economic, environmental and social benefits. But many still face restrictive siting policies and local opposition. buff.ly/E4vCU1e
