- Efficient grids and flexibility solutions: scale up investments in grid infrastructure and flexibility solutions like energy storage and demand response.
- Expansion of reliable renewable electricity supply: accelerate renewable deployment through stable regulatory frameworks, long-term electricity contracts, and investment incentives.
- Supporting communities hosting renewables: provide direct benefits to communities hosting renewable energy projects.
- Building a business case for industrial electrification: support industries transitioning to electrification through targeted financial mechanisms and by creating demand for green products.
