Show Notes

As governments grapple with volatile fossil fuel prices, supply disruptions and geopolitical uncertainty, is the renewable energy agenda being overshadowed by the growing focus on energy security?

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance, about why he believes today's energy security concerns are actually accelerating, not slowing, the shift to renewable energy.

He points to growing momentum across Europe and Asia, where policymakers are accelerating renewable deployment, electrification, storage and grid investment. In his view, renewables are now not only the cleanest option, but increasingly the fastest and most cost-effective way to add new generation capacity.
