Increasing Ambition

We’re working with our members to bring forward their target dates for 100% renewable electricity, increasing global ambition on renewables.

The acceleration of the global transition to renewable electricity is central to RE100’s mission. Our goal is carbon free grids by 2040. We’re therefore asking RE100 members to show climate leadership and be more ambitious by bringing forward their RE100 target dates. In doing so, RE100 and its members are intensifying the corporate demand signal to policymakers for zero carbon grids.

Together with our members, this important work has already begun.

Why are we doing this?

Climate science shows that we need to move faster. We’re encouraging both current and future members to increase their ambition, by setting a target year of 2040 or earlier – helping us to reach a cleaner, greener future sooner. Read RE100’s Accelerating market pressure statement to learn more.
