Energy Transition Council

The Energy Transition Council (ETC) is a multilateral platform, co-chaired by the UK and the Philippines, that unites over 40 governments and institutions offering global political, financial, and technical leadership in the power sector.

The ETC aims to make clean and sustainable power the most affordable and reliable option for countries to meet their power needs efficiently and accelerate their clean energy transition, moving away from coal and other fossil fuels, while ensuring a just transition and improved energy access for all.

Target	Target type
Integrated energy planning, delivering energy needs in a way that maximises cost effectiveness, efficiency, socioeconomic benefits and emissions reductions.	Other target
Utility-scale renewables, which require long-term commitments to the energy transition, adequate regulatory frameworks, bankable contracts, investments in modern grid infrastructure and management capacity, and mobilisation of investment from the private sector.	Other target
Coal and fossil fuel transition, countries require support and exit options on mechanisms and solutions to retire coal plants early and no longer build new coal power capacity.	Other target
Investment (policy and instruments) capital does not readily flow to countries with growing energy demands where significant investment is needed. Accelerating the energy transition will require a substantial increase of investment which cannot come from public finance alone.	Other target
Green Grids, managing renewables intermittency, sharing of resources across a wide geographic area and upgrading domestic power grids to integrate renewables. The UK-India Green Grids Initiative. One Sun One World One Grid (GGI-OSOWOG), launched at COP26, can support the political and technical cooperation required to achieve progress.	Other target
Energy efficiency increase could deliver more than 40% of GHG emission reductions over the next 20 years, across end-use sectors, including buildings, equipment and vehicles.	Other target
Distributed renewable energy, technologies including small-scale solar PV, mini-grids, stand-alone lighting systems and wind generators play a crucial role in achieving energy access goals alongside energy transitions.	Other target
