Energy Security - Global Renewables Alliance

Energy Security = Renewable Energy

The private sector’s message is clear: energy security can only be achieved with competitive, predictable and resilient renewables.

Global business statement

Ahead of the UK/IEA Energy Security Summit 2025, 145 private sector organisations called on governments to anchor renewables, efficiency, storage and grids at the core of national energy plans and policies. These solutions deliver benefits far beyond emissions reductions. They are the bedrock of a secure, competitive and affordable future.

The statement outlines key priorities for governments to integrate into their national climate plans (NDCs) and energy policies, emphasising the need to:

Remove barriers to corporate clean energy procurement
Scale and optimise energy infrastructure, including energy efficiency, storage, demand response, and strategic grid upgrades
Build resilient clean energy supply chains
Invest in a future-ready workforce
Realign incentives, such as repurposing fossil fuel subsidies
Expand clean energy access to underserved regions

“A secure energy future depends on accelerating renewables and building the infrastructure to match. We support this statement because it’s time to align policy, investment, and delivery to scale clean energy — fast.”

"Decarbonising mining isn’t a far-off vision. It’s both possible and profitable. By switching to renewables, we can significantly reduce operational costs – a clear example of decarbonisation driving profitability and reducing volatility."

"Renewables contribute to bring energy security and enhance economic competitiveness. At Iberdrola, we’ve long understood this, having invested in clean energy for over 20 years, we now operate more than 44,000 MW of renewable energy capacity worldwide."

"Governments and businesses can now exploit the huge security benefits of a modern, electrified, competitive and flexible system powered by renewable energy."

"In times of geopolitical uncertainty, the predictability of renewable energy is becoming increasingly meaningful. Indigenous generation of renewable power makes more and more sense, and for imported clean molecules there are a lot more options than today."
