Wind and solar energy hold immense promise to diversify the world’s energy mix and contribute to the net-zero transition. The costs of wind and solar power have dropped dramatically in recent years, making them increasingly cost-competitive with traditional fuels. Continued innovation, supportive policies, and scale-up of renewable energy deployment will be key to realising this potential and transitioning to a sustainable, zero-emissions energy future. However, challenges such as the intermittent nature of wind and solar power, significant upfront investment requirements, energy storage solutions and grid transmission upgrades must be addressed.
