UK prioritises grid and storage as deployment threatens global energy

Global grid infrastructure and energy storage must step up to avoid delaying 2030 targets, a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) says. As the world targets to treble installed renewable energy capacity – to reach 11TW – by 2030, it makes investing and planning in grid development "even more urgent" said IRENA.
