Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), has warned that the equivalent of the entire global electricity grid \u2013 80m km of grid \u2013 needs to be added or refurbished by 2040 to hit climate targets and ensure reliable power supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Global investment in energy grids needs to double to more than $600bn (\u00a3492bn) a year by 2030 to hit national climate targets after \u201cover a decade of stagnation at the global level\u201d, the IEA said. Demand for electricity is predicted to surge as many consumers switch to low-carbon alternatives to traditional products, such as heat pumps and electric vehicles. Companies in heavily polluting industries, including steelmakers, are also looking to electrification to help them decarbonise.<\/p>\n<p>The IEA said renewable projects offering at least 3,000 gigawatts of power were waiting for connections to their national grids \u2013 five times as much as the solar and wind capacity added globally in 2022. The IEA warned that delays in grid investment and reforms would increase the reliance on gas, pushing up carbon emissions and putting a goal of limiting global heating to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels \u201cout of reach\u201d. It said that the world\u2019s electricity use needed to grow 20% faster in the next decade than it did in the previous one to hit stated goals. The agency said governments needed to support the expansion of supply chains and extra training to upgrade grids, and planning systems needed to be improved.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/oct\/17\/global-electricity-grid-climate-iea\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-418\/\">Global electricity grid must be upgraded urgently to hit climate goals, says IEA<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11883,575,591],"class_list":["post-117782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-electricity-grid","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-iea"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117782\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
