Electrification on paper, bottleneck in the grid: the double standard of renewable electrification

2026-06-12T10:40:24+02:00

The future may be plugged in—but only if we first make it connectable. According to IRENA, by 2050 more than half of global energy consumption will need to be electric, and almost all of that electricity will have to come from renewable sources. Elec [...]
