Powering opportunity across the Amazon. At COP30 Brazil in Belém, the Government of Brazil and the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet announced a five-year partnership to expand clean power, green jobs, and economic opportunity for remote communities across the #Amazon. Together, we’ll help deliver renewable energy to the nearly one million Brazilians who still live without electricity - replacing diesel with solar, powering livelihoods and building a thriving bioeconomy, from processing açaí and forest products to fishing. As #Brazil’s Minister of Mines and Energy Alexandre Silveira shared, “Brazil is showing that it’s possible to combine energy inclusion, climate responsibility, and economic opportunity.” National Secretary of #Energy Transition and Planning Gustavo Cerqueira Ataide added, “We’re aligning investment and innovation to ensure that clean energy drives local enterprises, supports essential services, and promotes inclusive economic growth.” Our CEO Woochong Um added “Our work with Brazil is part of our Energy & Opportunity Coalition’s mission to link clean power with inclusive growth. Together, we’re turning the energy transition into a #jobs transition: powering businesses, strengthening local value chains and creating opportunity where it’s needed most.” This partnership marks a major step toward universal access across Latin America and will be featured at the upcoming Energies of the Amazon Workshop in Manaus this December — a next milestone in advancing renewable energy solutions and economic inclusion in the Amazon and across Latin America.

Far from COP30 Brazil and the #Amazon, but at the heart of our global effort to power sustainable opportunity and protect the planet. Reuters’ highlights The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet’s work in Sawarda village in Rajasthan, #India as a powerful example of how #clean #energy is transforming lives. Once plagued by blackouts and dry fields, an empty field-turned-solar plant now powers homes, farms, schools and more. Drones and digital mapping are also monitoring power lines and identifying the best spots for irrigation and additional solar panels. As leaders gather this week in Brazil, India shows that real climate action is happening on the ground: expanding energy #access, building resilience and cutting carbon emissions at scale. Our #Alliance is proud to support India’s clean energy transformation: ✅ Modernizing grids Mapping 26M+ grid assets to strengthen networks, improve reliability, and integrate renewables. ✅ Scaling battery storage Delivering India’s first commercial standalone battery energy storage systems (20MW) in Delhi — powering 100,000 people with 24/7 clean energy and paving the way for a 5GW pipeline by 2027. ✅ Powering rural prosperity - 776 solar plants bringing reliable power to 600,000 farmers in Rajasthan. - Through the Decentralized Renewable Energy for Women Economic Empowerment (#DEWEE) initiative, #women #entrepreneurs such as millers, tailors and food producers are adopting clean energy — with a goal of reaching 500,000 women by 2030. Together with 50+ partners in India we’ve unlocked $1 billion and are on track to improve energy access for 49 million people, support 2.2 million livelihoods, and reduce 166 million tons of carbon emissions. The world needs scalable, people-centered solutions. India is showing how we get it done, together. Join the governments, innovators, financiers, local NGOs and communities working to accelerate reliable, renewable, people-powered energy systems worldwide. 🔗 Watch it here: https://ow.ly/kJeU50Xrema Eric Phillip Gay | Vaishali (Vish) Mishra | Saurabh Kumar | Woochong Um | Raj Shah | Deepali Khanna | Ashvin Dayal | Agnes Dasewicz | V.

As we kick-off COP30 Brazil, #collaboration has never been more urgent. The #Amazon rainforest, one of our planet’s most powerful carbon sinks, is under unprecedented strain from deforestation, drought and climate stress. Its protection is inseparable from the lives and prosperity of the 30 million people who call it home. That’s why the #Alliance is working with the government of Brazil, the Sustainable Amazon Foundation and others, to expand #renewable #energy access, displace diesel, create #jobs in the bioeconomy and strengthen the resilience of thousands of people living in rural #communities. It's just one of many #partnerships that unite our Alliance of governments, businesses, investors, communities, and philanthropies around a shared vision: a world where everyone has access to affordable, clean, reliable electricity and the means to use it to improve their lives. With more than 50 partners worldwide, we’re driving systems-level solutions that encompass the entire energy value chain — from how power is generated and stored, to how it’s transmitted, distributed and used to create jobs, improve livelihoods, and build resilience. Together, our high-impact partnerships are unlocking investment, strengthening local capacity and delivering measurable impact across more than 30 countries. In some places this means the rapid deployment of renewable energy technologies like solar panels, batteries, smart meters and energy-enabled appliances. In others it means transitioning away from reliance on fossil fuels. And everywhere, it means using clean energy to avoid carbon emissions and create jobs that enable economies to grow. Because the energy transition isn’t just a climate goal — it’s a human one.

As the world gathers for #COP30, Brazil has a historic opportunity to show how clean energy can power inclusive growth and protect the planet. This week the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet brought together leaders in São Paulo from Natura, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Porticus, IEMA, the Mott Foundation, and more to explore how renewable energy can drive sustainable development, economic opportunity, and conservation across the Amazon. In the heart of the Amazon, our team joined colleagues from the Ministério de Minas e Energia, Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica - ANEEL, Empresa de Pesquisa Energética, and the Sustainable Amazon Foundation on a visit to Terra Indígena de Serra da Moça in Roraima. In communities like Serra da Moça and nearby Anzol, families who only recently gained electricity access are already seeing tangible change, from the first refrigerators that preserve school lunches, to solar-powered water pumps that allow farmers like Dona Cineide to grow manioc and other crops year-round. The pride and ambition of these local leaders are a powerful reminder that the energy transition must be designed with and for communities. We are proud to work alongside #Brazil’s Energias da Amazônia and Associação Luz Para Todos programs, which are replacing diesel generation with renewables, and expanding clean energy access. Our #Alliance is supporting this effort by ensuring that energy access translates into economic opportunity, providing appliances that power small enterprises, and nurturing the bioeconomy. Together, these efforts will bring power and opportunity to thousands of remote farmers and entrepreneurs, demonstrating how clean #energy can catalyze real #economic transformation. As COP30 unfolds in the #Amazon, these efforts represent more than climate action, they are part of the world’s blueprint for a just, inclusive, and locally led energy future. #ChangeEnergyChangeLives Isabel Beltrán | Hali McKinley Lester | Luisa Valentim Barros | Roberto Estevez | Gabriela Gutiérrez Morales | Eric Phillip Gay

The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet aims to expand clean energy globally by building the grid of the future. With a modernized, efficient grid, energy saved is carbon earned. At the Financial Times Live Energy Transition Summit, the Alliance's Tulika Narayan joined the panel “Harnessing AI and Innovative Technology to Tackle Climate Change,” moderated by Emiliya Mychasuk, to discuss how digital innovation can accelerate a just, inclusive #energy #transition. Energy consumption remains very low across emerging markets, particularly in Africa and Asia. To address this imbalance, we must embed the tools that help people and businesses use energy productively — generating demand that fuels #economic development. By #digitizing #grid assets and using AI-powered tools to measure and forecast demand, we can power that future demand with renewable energy, and ensure technologies like battery energy storage are deployed where they’re needed most. One example of this in action: In Rajasthan, India, our Alliance is using artificial intelligence to map the power grid in Jaipur, home to 4.4 million people. The project will analyze 26 million grid assets — including cables, meters, and transformers — to monitor grid health, improve reliability, plan upgrades, and integrate renewable energy more efficiently. Our Alliance is transforming energy systems to power progress for people and planet. #ChangeEnergyChangeLives
