Fossil Fuel Transition Strategies

The document outlines the role of fossil fuel transition strategies in shifting power sectors toward clean energy, driven by the fact that renewables are now the lowest-cost power source for most countries. It examines how utilities and governments are utilizing new financing and reinvestment opportunities to transition coal fleets and limit new gas infrastructure while mitigating impacts on ratepayers.

• Renewable energy has become the most cost-effective method for reliably powering the economies of most nations, surpassing coal and gas. This cost advantage was further intensified by fossil fuel price volatility caused by Russia's war in Ukraine.
• To facilitate the transition of coal fleets and reduce the construction of new gas infrastructure without harming customers or ratepayers, governments and utilities are employing new reinvestment and financing opportunities.
