Renewable power costs remain low, making
renewables the cheapest source of new electricity in most markets and further strengthening their cost
advantage over fossil fuels.
At a time when energy security and affordability have risen to the top of the development agenda, 655 million people globally still lack access to electricity, and two billion use polluting fuels and technologies for cooking putting their health and well-being at risk.
Speaking at the Global Energy Transition and Electrification Summit during London Climate Action Week 2026, IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera welcomed global efforts to accelerate electrification as a key driver of the energy transition.
