WHERE

COP27
Lotus Room, Action Room 2
Near the main entrance of the Blue Zone

This Implementation Lab on Energy Day of COP27 will showcase the renewable energy-based technology mix that will enable decarbonization of the global electricity system. We are at an unprecedented moment of cost-competitiveness, investment and technological maturity of grid-scale renewable energy. Primarily, the acceleration of renewable energy will focus on wind and solar power, which need to make up at least 40% of all global electricity generation under the Clean Power 2030 Breakthrough outlined by the UNFCCC Climate Champions and Race to Zero, in addition to storage technologies.
 
This Lab will examine how wind-solar-storage based systems are scaling up in countries around the world, bringing together policymakers, supply-side industry and civil society to showcase the progress that has been made and the key roadblocks to scaling these systems by 2030.
 
Agenda
This is an interactive 90-minute workshop open to all attendees of COP27, which will begin with high-level remarks from keynote speakers, followed by a series of interventions on successful case studies of scaling clean power from government, energy agencies, the private sector, the investment community and civil society.
 
Participants are then invited to engage in 35-40 minutes of breakout discussions and feedback on how to scale up renewable and storage-based systems within this decade.
 
Partners
This event is being convened by Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC),  The International Energy Agency (IEA), The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and ReNew Power, under the aegis of the Marrakech Partnership, the UN Climate Champions, the Race to Zero and the Race to Resilience.
