2️⃣ The energy transition is passing Africa by, despite huge RE potential & workforce
This needs to change & all G7 countries have a vested interest in seeing Africa share its success stories, progress their transition & receive the resources needed to deliver it

It briefly covers four key enabling areas required to deliver on the target:
a) Grid modernisation & expansion
b) Financing in todays high-interest rate era
c) The imp. role of energy storage in meeting the goal
d) The need to ensure we have the skilled workforce available

The global renewable energy sector employed 13.7 M people directly as well as indirectly in 2022.
The number has been growing 📈 over the past decade, from 7.3 M in 2012, thanks to increased investments in more countries.

Today's case studies highlighted the need to harness the untapped potential of demand-side flexibility for integrating renewables.
Benefits for the public are high: The EU could save around €30 bn in 2025, underscored by similar experiences in the US & Asian countries. #IIW2023

Together @MICleanEnergyRD, @EU_ScienceHub, @IEA & @IRENA work on the energy transition data, while addressing its challenges.
At #IIW2023, experts stressed the need to develop measurable quantitative indicators for
*Patent data
*Cost reduction trends
*Tech standards
*Innovation
Roland Rösch retweeted
Key takeaway from day 2⃣ of #IIW2023:
Int. organisations must not only inform & engage their members on the #energytransition, but also reduce complexity & set priorities to turn this transition into a reality.
Today's discussions shed light on this critical path forward💡.
Roland Rösch retweeted
In the coming days, we will showcase the vast economic opportunity that lies in smart decarbonisation with renewables - says @IRENA's @RolandRsch welcoming 300+ participants at #IIW2023 with focus on #renewable solutions to decarbonise end-use sectors.
