24/7 Green Energy: Beyond Simple Renewable Targets

Many climate plans talk about reaching a certain share of renewables by a target year. But real decarbonisation requires more than annual percentages – it needs reliable, clean energy every hour of every day.

The idea of 24/7 green energy means matching electricity consumption with renewable generation in real time. This pushes the system towards a smarter mix of wind, solar, hydro, storage and flexible demand instead of relying on fossil back-up when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.

For companies and cities, following a 24/7 mindset leads to more transparent climate progress and encourages investments in technologies that close the gap between green ambition and daily reality.
