Accelerating the Implementation of High-impact Grids and Storage Solutions

Efficient, flexible and resilient power grids form the backbone of our future energy systems. They connect renewable energy potential with real-world impact – powering homes, vehicles and businesses worldwide. As power demand increases and renewable deployment accelerates, the world faces an unprecedented challenge: ensuring that our power systems can absorb, transmit and deliver this growing capacity efficiently and reliably.
This event, co-organized by Germany and the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA), convenes partners to present a comprehensive package on grids and storage; outlining concrete and coordinated initiatives, introducing aligned work streams and launching support structures to accelerate action on this agenda globally. This package builds on the COP29 Grids and Storage Pledge signed by 65 countries and over 40 non-state actors last year, committing to double global grid investment, deploy 1,500 GW of energy storage, and upgrade or add 25 million kilometers of power lines by 2030 and the work on the COP30 Plan to Accelerate Solutions (PAS) on Expansion and Resilience of Power Grids.
