Clean Firm Electricity Technologies: What, Why, How
Achieving an affordable, reliable, and abundant clean energy future will require electricity systems to grow while rapidly decarbonizing. Delivering a reliable, least-cost power system will depend not only on scaling renewables, storage, and demand-side solutions, but also on deploying clean electricity technologies with complementary capabilities. Much like a well-balanced investment…

CATF: Poland’s NECP raises ambition, but its success depends on delivering clean firm power alongside renewables
Poland published its updated National Energy and Climate Plan. CATF’s initial assessment finds that although the plan shows progress, it still falls short of its potential to accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies, with implications for Poland’s contribution to the EU’s 2030 targets and 2050 climate neutrality goal. Why…
