Description

Description Renewable energy is increasingly reliable and cost-competitive with conventional generation sources. While renewable generation accounted for 22.8% of global electricity production in 2015, considerable acceleration is needed. Through the REscale program, leading energy and technology companies are working together on solutions to accelerate the deployment of renewables and the transition to a low-carbon electricity system. The ambition is to scale-up renewable deployment in line with the IEA 2˚C scenario - this equates to an additional 1.5 TW deployed by 2025.
Objectives
Activities To achieve this aim, the program is addressing these main challenges for scaling-up deployment:

• Renewable Finance: Facilitating the significant scaling up of finance for renewables by exploring new investment vehicles and de-risking project pipelines;

• Corporate Renewable PPA Forum: Working with corporate renewable energy buyers to scale renewable energy procurement via PPAs - globally - and increase bankability of projects;

• Low-Carbon Microgrids: Demonstrate technologies and innovative business models which will allow microgrid business solutions to reach scale.

REscale works with project developers, utilities, electricity consumers as well as financial and legal stakeholders as only a large and diverse group (across the value chain) can make a material contribution to solving the identified barriers.
