Latin America and the Caribbean have abundant renewables, already playing a major role in the region's electricity generation. Next step is to translate this strength into energy security & economic growth. Delighted to join the @OLACDE Ministerial in the #DominicanRepublic.

Tripling renewables by 2030 requires adding ~1200 GW each year between 2026-2030. This means almost doubling the record of 693 GW the world added in 2025. ➡️Renewables gain ground but must move much faster. @IRENA’s latest report ➡️ bit.ly/4hnkOhL

Electricity demand is entering a period of sustained growth as industry, transport and buildings electrify, advanced manufacturing expands and AI drives demand for new data center capacity. Masdar convened senior leaders during Climate Week NYC for the third edition of our Next Watt dialogue series, to help accelerate renewable energy deployment and address surging power demand. Co-hosted with @IRENA and @ADSWagenda, Next Watt: Meeting Surging Power Demand focused on the practical action needed to meet rapidly rising electricity demand while maintaining reliability and affordability. #Masdar #ThePowerOfNext #IRENA #ADSW #ClimateWeekNYC

I welcome the launch of the Global Grids Accelerator by @UN SG @antonioguterres during the #UNGA Climate Summit 2026 . Renewables are scaling at record speed but grids are not keeping pace. My message: no grids, no energy transition. The Accelerator ➡️bit.ly/3TQON9X

Power grids are at the core of global electrification. But 2,500 GW of renewables & storage projects sit stalled in grid connection. Jointly w/ the Utilities for Net Zero Alliance & partners, @IRENA works with utilities to address challenges through implementation. #ElectrifyNow
