Conclusion

While global renewable energy additions continue to break records, primarily driven by solar and China, current forecasts suggest a tripling by 2030 is not guaranteed without increased government ambition and implementation. The document highlights a misalignment between rapid deployment and national targets, which risks underinvestment in critical enabling systems such as grids, storage, and flexibility. It specifically emphasizes the need to scale up wind energy through supply chain unlocking and stable policy mechanisms, while urging parallel investment in infrastructure to prevent solar curtailment and bottlenecks.

• Global renewable energy deployment has increased significantly following the COP28 pledge, with annual additions breaking records every year, primarily led by solar energy and driven by China.
• Current national targets are not being updated quickly enough to match the actual pace of deployment, creating a risk of underinvestment in necessary supporting infrastructure such as grids, storage, and flexibility.
• Wind energy requires a significant scale-up in additions, necessitating the unlocking of supply chains, stable policy mechanisms to de-risk investment, and the establishment of clear national targets to manage long lead times and capital intensity.
