Transforming the energy system is one of the defining challenges of the twenty-first century. Meeting growing energy needs while tackling climate change will require not only new technologies, but also innovation across the energy system. From clean energy, storage, and smart grids to artificial intelligence and energy efficiency, innovation is reshaping how we generate, manage, use energy. Yet technological advances alone are not enough: their impact depends on the policies, institutions, markets, and incentives that enable new ideas to be developed, deployed, and adopted at scale.
