Policymakers play a critical role in establishing a credible, stable environment to facilitate the global energy transition. Public policies provide the necessary framework, incentives, and guidance to ensure diverse stakeholders move toward common objectives. Public policies also ensure country-level priorities and strategies are adequately considered, incorporated, and ultimately implemented to ensure an equitable move to a cleaner power sector.
Country priorities range from the deployment of renewable energies to reducing public debt due to high levels of subsidies. As the price of renewable energy has fallen and energy security has become a greater concern for many political leaders, new policies and country strategies are emerging to drive electricity sector decarbonization. These spotlights demonstrate that robust public policy not only leads to power sector decarbonization, but can also catalyze new economic opportunities to ensure a just transition for all.
These spotlights are part of RMI’s Global Energy Transformation Guide.
