Beyond the trilemma: Why the Global South needs a new energy framework
For decades, the “energy trilemma” – balancing energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability – has shaped how nations think about energy strategy. For much of the Global South, it has served as a practical compass. But today, that compass may no longer be sufficient.
India’s 60% non-fossil energy target hinges on scaling debt financing
India’s ambition to achieve a 60% non-fossil fuel share in its energy mix by 2035 faces a critical financing challenge, with annual investment in renewables, storage, and transmission projected to rise sharply from $68 billion by 2032 to $145 billion by 2035—according to a new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
