BulgariaIRENA urges electrification priority and grid investment for COP31
IRENA has welcomed its cooperation with the COP31 Türkiye Presidency and said concrete results have begun to emerge during preparations. In an assessment to Anadolu Agency, IRENA's La Camera said it was important to give priority to Türkiye's electrification initiative on the COP31 agenda.
La Camera said that reaching the goal of raising electrification to 35 percent of the energy system by 2035 requires more than expanding generation capacity. Grids must be interconnected, flexible and balanced, he said. He stressed that power grids, energy storage and infrastructure investments are core components of the energy transition.
La Camera said renewables supplied 43 percent of Türkiye's electricity generation in 2025 and that geothermal energy acts as a natural battery. He noted strong interest in the initiative but said some countries may resist it, adding that Türkiye could contribute by mediating between differing positions.
