Global energy systems are facing repeated fossil-fuel crises, exposing the same structural vulnerabilities each time. This report sets out a practical alternative: a ten-point plan of grid interventions that countries can deploy now to reduce fossil-fuel dependence, ease pressures on consumers, and build long-term energy security. The resources below include:
Transmission infrastructure sits at the heart of ASEAN’s clean energy transition and energy security. Yet the region faces a supply chain bottleneck in the very components needed to deliver it. Lead times for key cables and voltage source converters now stretch to 4–6 years. Without intervention, supply chain delays risk pushing project timelines well beyond policy targets, inflating costs and weakening investor confidence.
Climate Finance Principles to Unlock Grids Financing’ aims to accelerate investments in grid infrastructure—an essential step for global decarbonisation. With over 3,000 GW of renewable projects awaiting grid connections, inadequate grid capacity hinders both energy security and progress toward net-zero goals.
Developed in collaboration with finance and infrastructure experts, these principles guide climate investors in identifying impactful grid projects.

The GGI Principles for Interconnectors document is an effort of the GGI to provide a set of guiding principles (best practices) for developing interconnectors across its lifecycle.
Produced by the Climate Compatible growth team, the Playbook serves as a practical guide to help countries navigate through the complex journey of the electricity transition. It features nine interconnected building blocks of electricity transition with resources for each and has a community of growing knowledge to share best practice.
An interview with National Grid – moving to a decarbonised energy system
The analysis presented in this paper suggests that less than 40% of the grid investment needed in 2030 in EMDEs would be climate finance attributable under current eligibility criteria used by financing organisations.
In this presentation, GGI’s Policy & Engagement Lead, Rob Cooke, outlines the principles for interconnection that have been developed by a dedicated international task force. The principles will be launched at COP28 as a guide for governments.
In this short presentation, GGI Africa Working Group Lead, Moeketsi Thobela, outlines key developments in transmission and power system integration across Africa, including progress with ZiZaBoNa.

Accelerating sector transitions through stronger international collaboration
Developed in collaboration with Climate Compatible Growth and with inputs from across the globe, the Electricity Transition Playbook is a tool to help policymakers build and deliver plans to transition to a clean electricity system.
During COP28 in Dubai, 134 countries signed the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge (Triple up and Double down) at COP28. Whilst the pledge is an important commitment, what really counts is action and delivery. A Pledge without action is meaningless.
With contributions from across GGI’s global Ecosystem of experts, the Principles for Interconnectors have been developed as a guide for governments to help them effectively develop and leverage grid interconnectors, providing pathways through obstacles to progress.
