Over 100 wind firms call for ‘dramatic action’ to scale up RE transition

This comes ahead of the COP27 in November.

A total of 108 wind energy companies and associations, representing 81% of installed wind energy globally, has called on Paris signatories to take “dramatic action” to scale up wind and renewable energy.

"COP27 presents an opportunity for policymakers to come together to deal with these twin crises. The opportunity to draw a line under the unstable and unsecure fossil fuel era is there waiting to be seized by leaders around the world,” Ben Backwell, Global Wind Energy Council CEO, said.

“It is time the world welcomed in the renewables era bringing clean energy and clean jobs with it."

Citing data from the International Energy Agency, GlobalData said wind energy installations need to quadruple by 2030 to around 390 gigawatts (GW) annually.

Moreover, the GWEC also outlined actions that governments need to take to achieve clean energy targets.

This includes streamlining planning and permitting schemes for grid scale renewables projects, and rapidly building out vital grid infrastructure for integration of clean energy and cross-sector decarbonisation.

It also covers evolving power markets to both incentivise investment in renewable generation and allowing citizens to benefit from affordable, secure generation provided.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
