An international commitment to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 came out of the United Nations climate summit in Dubai last December. Representatives from each government

Nations can achieve the ambitious goals of the COP28 climate conference and triple clean energy capacity by the end of the decade if they clear regulatory bottlenecks and modernize the grid, according to a report published Tuesday by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The pledge could help the world avoid dangerous global warming if countries also enact policies to transition away from fossil fuels.

A goal to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030 and cut fossil fuel use is within reach, the International Energy Agency said in a report on Tuesday, but will require a huge push to unlock bottlenecks such as permitting and grid connections.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says countries must increase energy storage capacity to 1.5TW, 15-times the current level, by 2030.

In the grid alone, 25 million kilometres should be built and modernised. Whilst the goal of tripling renewable energy capacity in six years is achievable, certain issues must be addressed to ensure countries can fully benefit from it,

A new IEA report roadmaps how it's feasible to triple renewables and double energy efficiency globally by 2030 "with the right enabling conditions."
