The UAE-based International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has reported that tripling global renewable capacity to 11.2 TW by 2030 would deliver lasting economic benefits beyond energy access. Its latest publication features commentary on multiple country, highlighting renewable energy’s practical impact across key economic sectors. Solar irrigation in Rwanda has lifted agricultural output, and Zimbabwe’s renewable integration has stabilized essential public services. In Sri Lanka, solar-charged electric tuk-tuks have reduced dependence on fuel imports. Mauritania’s fisheries are using decentralized solar systems for refrigeration. IRENA said renewable deployment enhances resilience and supports economic progress in developing regions.
