Global energy consumption is rising. By the middle of our century, scientists predict that our energy needs will have doubled. About 80% of global electric power comes from fossil fuels – usually from burning petroleum, coal, oil, and natural gas.

The negative impact of using these fossil fuels on our environment is broad. First off, energy producers extract this fuel from below ground level, which requires mining and drilling.

This process often results in contamination of water bodies. Pollution is common. Further, the refinement process also releases toxic gases, known as greenhouse gases, into the environment. The presence of these gases in our atmosphere contributes to what we know today as climate change.

Solar energy is one of the most sustainable sources of energy in the foreseeable future with co-benefits of environmental sustainability, economic security, and equitable supply of energy. It is high on the global agenda and crucial to meeting the world’s climate goals. Moreover, solar energy is not just clean, they are fast becoming the cheapest form of power generation in many markets.

One of the biggest drawbacks of solar energy used to be its generation cost. However, the cost of solar energy is now below the cost of traditional fuels, and they are likely to fall further over the next decade, giving solar energy an even bigger cost advantage. The much-predicted death of fossil fuels is still some way off, especially outside Europe. Coal, gas, and oil will remain part of the fuel-supply mix for the foreseeable future, especially given the appetite for energy in developing economies in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Coal and oil are expected to peak within the next few years, while the demand for net zero is pick-up momentum with leaders from major economies are pushing for deep emission reductions from fossil fuels. According to IEA report Net Zero by 2050, the pathway calls for 630 gigawatts by the  year 2030 and largest single source of electricity by the year 2050.

Sustainable energy has been one of the major areas of intervention for GGGI. Solar energy forms the second largest portfolio of green investment mobilization through the Green Investment Services (after sustainable landscapes). GGGI facilitates policy and regulatory environment, application of potential new emerging technologies & ideas, and mobilizing green finance backed by sustainable business model setting the direction for creating the right enabling conditions for adoption of solar energy at scale that fits into the country needs and regional conditions.
