A rapid scale-up of grids and energy storage is essential to deliver the global 3xRenewables commitment by 2030.
To triple renewable energy by 2030, the world must expand grids and energy storage at unprecedented speed. Without modern, flexible infrastructure, new wind and solar capacity cannot connect to the system, power cannot flow where it is needed, and reliability cannot be maintained.
Flexibility is the foundation of a clean, secure and just energy future. It enables countries to integrate large volumes of renewable energy, stabilise electricity systems, support electrification, and reduce reliance on volatile fossil fuel imports.
More than 170 countries, subnational governments and organisations now support the COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge. The pledge sets essential 2030 targets for 1,500 GW of energy storage and 25 million kilometres of modernised grid infrastructure, reinforcing the global commitment to integrate and accelerate renewable energy deployment.
