New ETC report demonstrates that wind and solar-dominant power systems are competitive, reliable, and technically and economically feasible
LONDON, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) has today published a landmark report, Power Systems Transformation: Delivering Competitive, Resilient Electricity in High-Renewable Systems. The report sets out that global power systems dominated by wind and solar generation can reliably deliver electricity at costs comparable to or lower than today's fossil fuel-based power systems in most parts of the world. Electricity is projected to provide up to 70% of global final energy consumption in a decarbonised energy system, growing from around 20% today. Total global electricity demand could potentially triple, reaching 90,000 TWh by 2050 compared to 30,000 TWh today, and be met with new generation predominantly from wind and solar. A Global Opportunity The report shows that many countries can operate power systems with 70% or more electricity from wind and solar, using proven technologies available today, like battery storage, other energy storage, long-distance transmission, and flexible energy use. It highlights significant regional opportunities: "Sun belt" countries – including India, Mexico, and much of Africa – are best-positioned to cut power system costs by transitioning to low-cost, solar-led systems, which mainly require day-night balancing. In contrast, "wind belt" countries – such as the UK, Germany, and Canada – that rely on higher shares of wind face higher balancing costs, but can still achieve affordable, stable systems through smart policy and innovation. In many regions, long-distance transmission lines can be one of the most cost-effective solutions to balancing supply and demand, and should be maximised where feasible. Rapid electrification of buildings, transport and industries and decarbonisation of power systems must advance together to keep costs per kilowatt-hour affordable for consumers and businesses. "Multiple technologies, including nuclear and geothermal, may play a role in zero-carbon power systems. But wind and solar will be the dominant source of power in most countries, providing 70% or more of electricity at costs at or below today's fossil-based systems. In particular, in the global sun belt, the collapsing cost of solar PV and batteries makes possible far cheaper and more rapid growth in green electricity supply than seemed feasible 10 years ago. But wind belt countries can also achieve cost-effective decarbonisation by leading in offshore wind, long-duration storage, and grid innovation." said Adair Turner, Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission. Key Findings: It is technically possible for wind- and solar-dominant systems to be stable and resilient with the right mix of balancing and grid technologies. These systems are no more likely to experience blackouts than thermal generation-dominated systems. High wind and solar systems can be competitive with today's wholesale prices and grid costs. Sun belt countries could see costs more than halve to $30-$40/MWh by 2050. Wind-dependent country costs (e.g., UK) are higher, but in the future could be comparable to current levels. The "last mile" of decarbonisation will be the most expensive, particularly in countries which need ultra-long duration balancing to meet seasonal variations in supply and demand. Once countries have reached very low levels of carbon intensity (e.g., less than 50g per kWh), electrification is more important than rapid last-mile decarbonisation. Up to 30% of all global power demand could be time-shifted through demand-side flexibility. This requires the development of dynamic pricing and the use of smart management technologies. Grid costs per kWh can be kept stable. Total global grid length will need to more than double by 2050, reaching around 150–200 million km. Annual grid investment could rise from $370 billion in 2024, peaking at $870 billion in the 2030s. However, ~35% of grid expansion costs (equivalent to $1.3 trillion in Europe1) could be avoided between now and 2050 through the usage of innovative grid technologies. Delivering low-cost, high variable renewable energy power systems will require strategic vision and planning, including market reform to put all technologies on a level playing field, grid modernisation enabled by innovative technologies, supply chain development strategies and customer engagement. "Clean electricity is essential for climate action and is the most affordable way to power economic development. Countries can build resilient economies fit for the future by investing in renewables, grids, and flexibility now. Indeed it is their obligation to do so, according to the recent ICJ advisory opinion. Low-cost, clean power is what people, industry and businesses want. Countries must deliver it now, and this report shows that they can." said Christiana Figueres, Founding Partner, Global Optimism. Policymakers, the power industry, and financial institutions should collaborate to ensure: Appropriate planning of high wind/solar systems to expedite planning approvals and minimise deployment bottlenecks. Electrification of demand that keeps pace with generation and grid build-out to avoid the cost per kWh increasing for consumers. Accelerate power market reforms to unlock investment in critical technologies. Address workforce and supply chain bottlenecks to enable delivery at scale. "Renewables are the core of the global energy transition, delivering clean, reliable, and affordable power. Wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, storage and modern grids are transforming electricity systems and opening new opportunities for growth, investment, and energy security. To keep this momentum, deployment must advance alongside grid expansion, market reform, and investment. Together, these build competitive, resilient systems that support jobs and economic progress. With governments leading and the private sector supporting, renewables will deliver a clean, secure, and just energy future." said Bruce Douglas, CEO at Global Renewables Alliance. The ETC also published a supplementary briefing, Connecting the World: Long-Distance Transmission as a Key Enabler of a Zero-Carbon Economy, focused on the role of cross-border interconnectors and long-distance transmission in accelerating the energy transition.

Record high rents as tenants pay £400 more per month than five years ago
Asking rents across Britain have reached new record highs, according to an index. The average rent being asked across Britain, excluding London, has reached a record £1,365 per month, according to figures from Rightmove covering the second quarter of this year. Despite reaching a new record, the average asking rent for a home outside of London is now 3.9% higher than this time last year, the lowest this annual growth figure has been since 2020. In London, the average advertised rent has also reached a new high, at £2,712 per month. Average advertised rents for new properties in London rose by 1.9% annually. Rightmove, which used data from its website, said that it is taking an average of 25 days for a rental home to be marked 'let agreed', up from 21 days last year and 18 days in 2022. Nearly a quarter (24%) of rental homes are having price reductions while they are advertised, marking the highest proportion recorded by Rightmove since 2017. It said that the slowing in the pace of rental price growth has been partly because of the balance between supply and demand improving. It is seeing the best balance between supply and demand in the rental market since 2020. The number of properties for tenants to choose from is 15% higher than a year earlier, but remains 29% below the level seen in 2019, just before the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns in the UK. Tenant demand has also fallen by 10% compared with a year earlier. The average number of inquiries a typical rental property receives is now 11 – down from 16 last year, but up from seven in 2019 – the report said. Five years on from when the pandemic began, the average monthly rent that a new tenant faces paying is more than £400 (£417) more than in 2020, Rightmove said. Colleen Babcock, a property expert at Rightmove, said: 'Despite another new record in average asking rents for tenants, the big picture is that yearly rent increases continue to slow, which is good news for tenants. 'Supply and demand is slowly rebalancing towards more normal levels, though we still have a way to go before we reach pre-2020 levels of available homes for tenants.' Alex Caddy, manager at Clarkes Estate and Letting Agency, said: 'The rental market has undergone a marked shift in 2025. 'After several years of sharp rent inflation post-pandemic, tenants hit a ceiling by late 2024, leading to widespread price slowdowns. 'Competitively priced, well-presented properties continue to attract strong interest, echoing trends seen in the sales market. However, the market is now dealing with a much higher supply of rental homes, a complex reversal of previous trends. 'Some landlords have exited the sector over the past two years due to rising regulatory and financial pressures, but with the sales market slowing in some areas, a growing number of those properties have re-entered the rental market. 'Demand remains robust, particularly for quality one and two bedroom homes. Larger properties are moving more slowly, with some seeing longer void periods as tenants benefit from increased choice.' Andrew Ralph, managing director, lettings at LRG (Leaders Romans Group) said: 'We're seeing a shift in the rental market this quarter. Stock levels are up, and demand remains strong but more measured, bringing us closer to a sustainable balance. 'Average rents are still rising year-on-year, but at a slower pace. Pricing correctly from the outset is key, and being quick to adjust price in line with market response helps avoid unnecessary void periods.' Megan Eighteen, president of property professionals' body Arla Propertymark, said: 'Many landlords within the private rental market are grappling with substantial hikes in their overall costs, including increased taxes, unfavourable mortgage rates, and ongoing regulatory challenges. 'These factors are making property investment less appealing and potentially riskier.' Richard Lane, chief client officer at StepChange Debt Charity, said: 'The last five years have hit household finances hard, but few have felt it more sharply than those in the private rented sector. 'The majority of our clients struggling with debt are renters, with a third in the PRS (private rented sector). Our data shows that among StepChange clients, housing costs take up 37% of private renters' incomes on average – compared to 29% among social renters and 27% among mortgage holders. 'When so much of your income goes on rent, it's no wonder private renters are more exposed to debt and financial hardship.' Ben Twomey, chief executive of Generation Rent, said: 'When so much of our income is swallowed up by landlords, it can mean that we can't afford to heat our homes for the winter or feed ourselves properly. Some renters are staring down the barrel of debt and homelessness.' Sign in to access your portfolio
