Anchor point: Our work
We curate the world’s best open dataset on global electricity generation, and publish an annual Global Electricity Review.
We have specialist teams working in Asia and Europe to galvanise action in the world’s biggest emitters, by using data and analysis to highlight the solutions and policy enablers.
In Europe we published a modelled pathway to a clean power system by 2035, and in Asia we have helped show the progress in renewables deployment in India, South East Asia and beyond.
“Clean electricity will reduce energy costs and pollution, and boost efficiency and energy security.”
