Collective Action for Renewable Power Transformation – 2025 Annual Report

Collective Action for Renewable Power Transformation – 2025 Annual Report

This ReNew2030 annual report highlights regional progress through coalition stories that show how our work is helping advance a more resilient energy future.

A world racing toward 2030 needs more than incremental change. It needs accelerators.

Throughout 2025, ReNew2030 worked with partner organisations in priority countries to support progress in renewable energy deployment across diverse national contexts. A growing portfolio of grants reflects both expanded support and deeper engagement. Through this work, partners:

  • Advanced more than 70 renewable energy, grid and low carbon projects
  • Contributed to over 20 national and subnational policy proposals
  • Supported the development of 4 national legal frameworks.

In the 20 countries where ReNew2030 is active, renewable energy deployment continued at pace. In 2025, these markets added 447 GW of solar and 145 GW of wind capacity, highlighting the scale and pace of deployment.

Strategy in Action

ReNew2030’s strategy reflects the growing recognition that power sector transformation will not happen through incremental change alone. To support this, ReNew2030 works through a coalition model that combines international coordination with locally grounded expertise. This shared approach is consistent in its core principles, while giving partners the flexibility to lead, adapt the work to their contexts, and root it in local priorities.

In 2025, this approach came to life across three interconnected areas shaping progress toward a fair and resilient energy transition: strengthening community-led energy initiatives, advancing grid development, and unlocking finance.

Alongside this work, the coalition also continued to support international work – from improving access to reliable evidence to strengthening coordination among institutions and helping align efforts across markets.

The stories below show how partners are advancing these priorities in practice.

Making the transition work for local livelihoods (Brazil)

Building skills and long term autonomy (Mexico)

Addressing rural concerns in the energy transition (Europe)

Modernising grids with inclusive access in mind (Southeast Asia)

Seeding progress for the next phase of grid development

Aligning institutions and accelerating reforms (China)

Making markets more investable (Nigeria)

Strengthening financial ecosystems and market alignment (Pakistan)

What We Are Learning Across the Coalition

In 2025, insights from partners, monitoring and coalition-wide dialogue pointed to a set of consistent themes shaping progress across regions:

  • Progress depends on long-term engagement: Sustained partnerships, trust-building, and locally grounded work remain critical to moving from early activity to lasting impact.
  • Energy transitions are increasingly shaped by geopolitical and economic dynamics: Linking renewable energy to energy security, affordability, and economic opportunity is becoming essential for maintaining momentum.
  • Infrastructure and finance remain key constraints: Challenges around grids, permitting, and high financing costs continue to limit the pace and scale of deployment.
  • Social legitimacy is essential to scale: Community engagement, fair benefit-sharing, and responsiveness to local concerns are increasingly central to successful implementation.

Together, these insights point to the importance of approaches – central to ReNew2030’s work – that combine local expertise, system-level coordination, and sustained investment to enable renewable energy deployment at scale.

Unlocking wind and solar through regional action

Unlocking Wind and Solar Through Regional Action – 2024 Annual Report

This first annual ReNew2030 report focuses on stories of impact from the field, set against a backdrop of international statistics showing progress in wind and solar and reflecting on whether we are on track to meet our goal.

  Read our report

Our mission is bold yet focused: to scale wind and solar power five-fold by 2030 in the 20 countries that account for around 80% of global power sector emissions.

These countries hold the key to bending the emissions curve – and ReNew2030 exists to help tip the balance. By supporting catalytic partnerships, driving strategic influence, and backing projects with real-world impact, ReNew2030 is working to reshape energy systems in ways that are just, inclusive, and grounded in local priorities.

Regional climate foundations leading local change

In 2024, ReNew2030 regional partners made remarkable progress across diverse geographies, often navigating complex and volatile contexts. Despite these challenges, regional climate foundations remained resilient, ambitious, and solutions-driven to deliver tangible results.

Scaling renewable energy investment through transformative platforms in Nigeria

Strengthening capacity and constituency for renewable energy in South Africa

Leveraging elections to secure policy wins in the United Kingdom

Driving scalable solutions for distributed solar PV in China

Growing the momentum for Pakistan’s solar boom

Catalysing offshore wind development in the Philippines through multi-stakeholder collaboration

Empowering communities through renewable energy projects in Mexico

Strengthening community participation in wind energy development in Brazil

Driving international impact with our partners

2024 was the year of sustaining the momentum on the 3xRenewables goal announced at COP28 in Dubai. Throughout the year, ReNew2030 played a pivotal role in driving accountability and progress toward implementation, supporting a diverse network of transnational partners across regions.

With support from its transnational partner, the Pooled fund on International Energy (PIE), ReNew2030 collaborated with the Global Renewables Alliance to host the first-ever Global Renewables Summit in September 2024 in New York. This gathering brought together governments, private sector, philanthropies, international organisations, and academia – uniting all key stakeholders for the first time to strategise on accelerating the global race to tripling renewable energy capacity.

The Sunrise Project played an important role in engaging financial institutions in global policy-making spaces. Through its flagship Global Finance Programme, Sunrise advanced efforts to align financial systems with clean energy goals, drawing on insights from its work in Asia and Europe. One major initiative was the Sustainable European Central Bank coalition, calling for financial policies that facilitate the energy transition such as dual interest rates.

Another transnational partner, International Climate Politics Hub (ICPH), leveraged its trusted diplomatic network to push for progressive climate policy at the global level. Throughout the year, ICPH remained steadfast in its efforts, ensuring the most ambitious outcomes possible, despite a challenging political environment. At COP29, where some parties sought to weaken last year’s Global Stocktake language on the energy transition, ICPH’s engagement was instrumental in holding the line.

Strategic storytelling and influence

ReNew2030 amplifies its impact through media coverage, thought leadership, and high-profile platforms, ensuring its work reaches key audiences. TED talks, opinion articles in Financial Times Sustainable Views, and strategic engagements at COP29 have elevated its visibility, driving conversations on renewable energy.
