As electricity demand grows and costs rise, solar and energy storage are essential to building a reliable, secure, and affordable energy system. These technologies already make up the majority of new generation capacity additions in the United States. Combined, solar and storage accounted for nearly 80% of new capacity added to the grid in 2025. The solar and storage industry plays a critical role in ensuring U.S. energy security and serves an increasingly important role in meeting rising demand. At the same time, cybersecurity threats facing the broader energy sector continue to evolve and grow. It is imperative that the systems, networks, devices, and components that make up the solar and storage ecosystem are secure against cybersecurity threats.

Solar has been contributing a lion’s share to installed renewable capacity additions. India added approximately 2.8 GW of solar capacity in May 2026, which resulted in around 3.4 GW of renewable capacity addition. Within the cumulative solar capacity of 157.05 GW, ground-mounted utility-scale solar plants account for the major share at 118.79 GW, followed by grid-connected rooftop solar at 27.88 GW, off-grid and PM KUSUM-linked solar at 6.31 GW, and the solar component of hybrid projects at 4.06 GW. Rajasthan leads with over 42 GW of solar capacity, followed by Gujarat at over 32 GW, Maharashtra at over 20 GW, Tamil Nadu at nearly 14 GW and Karnataka at over 11 GW.

As conflict in Iran disrupted global oil and gas supplies, the gas price volatility from this disruption added roughly EUR 13 billion to the EU’s wholesale electricity bill, and this could have been much higher. Fortunately, renewable electricity accounted for around 44% of EU generation, which the EEA estimates has saved the EU approximately €29 billion. To fulfill its potential, electrification needs to form part of a smart and resilient energy system, ensuring renewable electricity can flow where and when it is needed. Achieving this will require scaling up investment in modernising grid networks and relying on an array of flexible options and technology such as energy storage, interconnectors and smart meters for demand-side flexibility.

The paper examines how the vertical integration of climate change adaptation can be strengthened, using Indonesia, Brazil and India as comparative case studies. The paper provides empirical evidence on common barriers, highlights opportunities and offers practical recommendations for policymakers, planners and development partners on how coordination across governmental levels can be enhanced. The paper highlights how large, decentralised countries such as Indonesia, Brazil and India must overcome fragmented adaptation governance and ensure vertical policy coherence across all governmental levels to facilitate more robust and effective climate adaptation actions.

The report presents a snapshot of the current landscape to support Chile’s transition toward energy security and sovereignty by shifting away from fossil fuels. Renewable energy has not replaced fossil fuels; it has grown alongside them. Despite having an electricity system that is more than 60 per cent renewable, Chile consumed 29 per cent more energy from fossil fuels in 2024 than it did in 2000. The energy system is not defossilising; it is redistributing its dependence across different fossil fuel sources. Today, Chile has neither a fossil fuel phase out strategy nor a reduction plan in its dependence on fossil fuels; instead, fossil fuel use has shifted across sectors.
