Brussels, 5 May 2026 – The Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) today announces its 2026 corporate partners, bringing together leading companies from across the renewable energy value chain at a critical moment for the global energy transition. As countries and businesses face continued energy insecurity, price volatility and growing pressure on competitiveness, the partnership underlines the urgent need to accelerate the deployment of renewable power, grids and storage.

This year’s partners include Fortescue, Iberdrola, Arup, EDP, Hitachi, Octopus Energy Generation, Ørsted, SSE, SUNOTEC, and Vestas.

Together, these companies represent a broad cross-section of the global energy ecosystem, including developers, utilities, technology providers, manufacturers, investors, advisors, and major energy buyers. By partnering with GRA, they contribute industry expertise and strengthen the private sector voice in support of tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030.

“Energy has become a defining issue for economic stability and competitiveness,” said Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance. “The companies partnering with GRA this year are demonstrating that renewables, combined with grids, storage and electrification, are not only the fastest and cheapest route to decarbonisation, but the foundation of a secure and resilient energy system. Turning ambition into implementation is now the priority.”

Across industries, partners highlighted the growing role of renewables in addressing today’s energy challenges:

Andrew Forrest, Executive Chairman and Founder at Fortescue, said: “Volatile fossil fuel prices are a handbrake on global growth. Nations and industries cannot build prosperity on fuels that swing wildly in cost and security. The only real pathway forward is clear – replace fossil fuels with abundant, predictable renewable energy. Fortescue is proving that heavy industry can be decarbonised now, not decades from now. Through our partnership with the Global Renewables Alliance, we are helping drive a global shift where green energy delivers not just climate outcomes, but stronger, more resilient economies.”

Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera, Director of Climate Change and Alliances at Iberdrola, said: “Electrification is at the heart of the response to today’s security and competitiveness challenges, stemming from the continued dependence of our energy model on fossil fuels. At Iberdrola, we have long championed clean electricity as the most effective way to create sustainable value for the economy. Through our partnership with the Global Renewables Alliance, we are joining forces with key partners to accelerate electrification worldwide and deliver meaningful benefits across society.”

Through their partnership with GRA, the companies will engage in key global moments throughout the year, including London Climate Action Week, Climate Week NYC and COP31, sharing practical business experience and demonstrate how renewable energy is already delivering tangible benefits for businesses and economies.

Their engagement will support GRA’s work to accelerate action on renewables, grids and storage, and to promote ambitious, actionable and investible policy frameworks. At a time when governments are preparing the next generation of energy and climate plans, the role of the private sector in delivering solutions at scale is more important than ever.

This announcement reinforces growing alignment between businesses and policymakers on the need to move faster. With the support of its corporate partners, GRA will continue to champion the policies and partnerships needed to unlock rapid renewable energy growth and strengthen energy security worldwide.
