All Things Renewable explores the latest developments in the global shift towards sustainable energy. In the interviews with experts, guided by insights from IRENA's research and activities, we break down how renewables are transforming economies, powering communities, and driving sustainable development. Each episode focuses on key topics around renewable energy financing, costs, policies, technological innovations, and the socio-economic impacts of the energy transition.
Powering the Future: Building Tomorrow’s Electricity Markets
Despite a record 693 gigawatts of power capacity added globally in 2025, the pace of growth is insufficient. Meeting the tripling renewables target requires building more renewable capacity between 2026 and 2030 than in all previous years combined. What will it take to close the gap? Increasingly, the answer is not in the competitiveness of the technology itself but rather in the energy system built around it. Aleksi Lumijarvi, Director of the Knowledge, Policy and Finance Centre (KPFC), explores what it takes to build tomorrow's electricity markets, from modern, flexible grids to the regulatory reforms needed to power a renewable-based future.

Transition Pathways: How Can Sub-Saharan Africa Turn Vast Renewable Potential into Reliable Energy?
Sub-Saharan Africa holds some of the world's largest renewable energy potential, yet around 560 million people in the region still live without access to electricity. In this episode, Kamlesh Dookayka and Mamadou Goundiam, IRENA experts on Sub-Saharan Africa, explore how the region can move beyond untapped potential to deploy its vast resource base at scale. They examine the structural barriers holding projects back, the role of long-term planning at the national and continental level, and what countries and communities stand to gain when renewables deliver reliable energy, economic development and lasting local value.

How is Southeast Asia charting its own pathways to a renewable future?
Each country charts its own energy transition pathway. Across Southeast Asia, countries are balancing rising energy demand, import dependence and climate commitments, and renewables are emerging as a reliable solution. Karanpreet Kaur, Country Engagement Officer for Asia, explains how local circumstances shape each nation's approach. She explores how governments turn strengths into opportunities, why cross-border cooperation matters, and how the Accelerated Partnership for Renewable Energy in Southeast Asia (APRESA) helps to translate ambition into action to empower communities while building low-carbon economies. Follow IRENA under #TransitionPathways to see how local action powers regional progress.
