Brazil’s primary energy objective is to ensure a sufficient energy supply to support its economic growth. Historically, the country has also been an energy importer, however. Therefore, to achieve the goal of supply security, the country has developed a series of public policies that focus on fostering competitive domestic solutions. These public policies have played a crucial role in diversifying energy sources, strengthening energy security and taking advantage of national resources. They have also resulted in a reliable, affordable and low-emissions energy mix for Brazilian society.

The World Bank has approved financing for Mongolia’s Fourth Energy Sector project, which aims to enhance the reliability and capacity of the country’s central energy system transmission grid while advancing integration of renewable energy sources. The project is expected to add 590 MW of transmission capacity and facilitate the integration of approximately 150 MW of solar and wind power into the national grid.

China, India, the EU and the US accounted for 63% of global electricity demand and 64% of CO2 emissions in the first half of 2025. Development in these countries therefore has a major influence on the global power sector. In H1-2025, fossil fuel generation and related emissions fell in China and India – a reversal of trends seen in the first half of 2024, as clean sources in both countries grew faster than electricity demand. Meanwhile, fossil generation and emissions rose in the US as clean generation did not keep pace with demand growth.

Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy has announced the results of Tender 4 under the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), which aims to support the national renewable energy target of 82 per cent. A total of 20 projects were selected with a cumulative capacity of 6.6 GW, exceeding the initial plan of 6 GW. Of these, 12 hybrid projects integrating wind or solar with battery storage contribute over 3,500 MW.

Energy independence is central to Lithuania’s energy policy, and the country has taken important steps to reduce its dependency on energy imports, including ceasing all imports from Russia since March 2022. However, imported fossil fuels still account for over half of end-use energy consumption. To address the dependence on fossil fuels imports, Lithuania has set ambitious targets for renewable electricity expansion to enable electrification and reduce energy imports. The country is facing a rapid and significant transition of its energy system to enhance security and reduce GHG emissions.

Offshore wind’s journey began with Denmark’s first offshore wind turbines installed in 1991 off the island of Lolland. Since then it has evolved into a story of remarkable growth. In Europe alone, offshore wind contributes approximately USD 3.2 billion GW installation in gross value added (GVA). A total of 56.3 GW of offshore wind capacity was awarded worldwide last year and Europe led the way, with 23.2 GW awarded in Europe.

The limited capacity of Türkiye’s electricity grid is negatively affecting the growth of renewable energy capacity. Across both transmission and distribution levels, the available capacity for unlicensed plants in Türkiye is only 0.52 GW. This slows down the realisation of new solar investments in Türkiye, a country with high solar potential. The investment costs required for new grid infrastructure are among the main barriers to increasing capacity allocations. According to TEİAŞ’s 2024–2028 Strategic Plan, 74% of the total 362 billion TL budget planned for the five-year period will be allocated to the renewal and development of the electricity grid. According to the analysis conducted by TEİAŞ and published in its Strategic Plan to assess external factors that may affect its operations and strategic decisions, economic factors have been identified as the second most important element likely to impact the organisation in the future, after technological factors.

U.S . energy infrastructure consists of facilities and related infrastructure needed to generate electricity from various sources (natural gas, petroleum, coal, solar, wind, nuclear, hydroelectricity), and transmission and distribution (T&D) networks needed to move this energy from its source to communities nationwide. To best serve the needs of the public, balanced investments in both generation and T&D systems are essential to ensure reliable performance. These investments, largely driven by user rates, can prevent disruptions to energy services that have become critical to the nation’s safety, health, and economic efficiency. Energy interruptions bear significant costs on U.S. industries and consumers, as even a brief power outage increases production costs and disrupts supply chains.

The global energy transition is a multifaceted challenge, often muddled by competing narratives and oversimplified assumptions. Climate change demands action, and major economic blocs—US, China, and Europe—are responding with strategies shaped by their unique economic, geopolitical, and technological contexts. Too often, public discourse conflates these factors, obscuring the practical realities at play.
