New Delhi, Apr 29 (BNP): The global transition toward renewable energy is gaining pace, with more countries increasingly adopting solar power as fossil fuel prices remain high and global energy supply chains face uncertainty, according to the Director General of the International Solar Alliance (ISA).
He noted that volatility in oil and gas markets, along with geopolitical disruptions, is prompting nations to look for cleaner, more stable, and cost-effective energy alternatives. Solar energy, in particular, is emerging as a key solution for strengthening long-term energy security.
The ISA highlighted that rapid improvements in solar technology, declining installation costs, and better storage systems are making solar power more accessible and viable across both developed and developing economies.
Experts say the global energy transition is also being driven by climate commitments and supportive government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix.
The Alliance stressed that solar energy will play a central role in ensuring affordable and sustainable electricity access while reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels.
