An equitable and sustainable energy transition is at the center of this global challenge, where electricity will be the backbone of the entire energy system. By this time ‘the energy sector will be dominated by renewables’ and ‘electricity will account for almost 50 percent of the total global energy consumption’ – up from about 20 per cent today2. According to the IEA’s ‘Net Zero by 2050’ report2, ‘the path to net zero emissions is narrow’ and staying on it requires increased investment in infrastructure, and specifically, an ‘immediate and massive deployment of all available clean and efficient energy technologies.’ By 2030, the world economy is expected to be some 40 per cent larger but consuming seven per cent less energy to be on track for net zero in 2050.
