Renewables to Lead Global Electricity by Early 2025, Industry Leaders Chart Path Amid Economic Challenges

The energy landscape is set to shift significantly in the coming years. By early 2025, renewable sources are projected to become the largest provider of global electricity, overtaking coal. However, this transition is not without its challenges, with inflation and higher interest rates presenting notable obstacles.

Experts and industry leaders recently convened at a meeting organised by NZI's Renewable Infrastructure Forum and sponsored by Gravis and Octopus Energy Generation. The event brought together representatives from financial institutions, investment firms, and renewable energy companies to explore new strategies for investing in the energy transition. Attendees discussed innovative financing models and risk mitigation strategies to navigate the current economic climate.

The impending shift towards renewables is driven by falling costs and increasing demand for clean energy. However, the rising prices and higher borrowing costs pose challenges to the rapid deployment of renewable energy projects. Despite these hurdles, the consensus among attendees was the need to accelerate the energy transition to meet climate goals and ensure energy security.

As the world moves towards a renewable future, the energy transition will require innovative financing solutions and strategic planning. With renewables set to become the leading source of electricity generation by early 2025, the energy sector is poised for significant change. Despite the challenges posed by inflation and higher interest rates, the meeting underscored the commitment of industry leaders to drive the energy transition forward.
