'BNEF estimates 152 million kms of new cables are required to adapt grids to a net zero world - enough to stretch from Earth to the Sun if laid end to end.' There's no transition without transmission. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Very excited to see this project taking a step forward. We are building a tool to help governments navigate their transition to zero carbon economies. #NetZero

For all the lovely folks who go on and on about mining and electric cars when they don't have the slightest grasp of what is really happening. distilled.earth/p/a-fossil-fue…

In the first article for our new 'Why grids?' blog series, Marcus Stewart explains why grids are critical to the energy transition and achieving critical decarbonisation targets. You can read the full article here: greengridsinitiative.net/blog/categorie… Marcus Stewart

I have written on a short article on the need for grids to deliver the energy transition and what needs to be done. #NetZero #NoTransitionWithoutTransmission

So called 'interconnectors' have a vital role to play in enabling the global transition to renewable energy. Read why in the second piece in our new 'Why grids?' series here: greengridsinitiative.net/post/principle… Matthew Wittenstein #greengrids #powersystemconnectivity Marcus Stewart

Our Principles for Interconnectors project will be presented today at the Clean Energy Ministerial in Goa. You can ready more about the project here: greengridsinitiative.net/post/principle…
