The Role of Government Policies in Accelerating the Transition to 100% Renewable Energy

Abstract

In order to achieve long-term sustainability and reduce the impact of climate change, it is essential to switch to renewable energy sources entirely. Even while solar, wind, and hydropower have become more efficient and cost-effective, governments throughout the world still need to work together if we want to switch to renewable energy completely. By establishing rules, incentives, and frameworks to encourage the creation and use of renewable energy systems, government policies are vital in hastening this change. the part played by policy instruments including feed-in tariffs, subsidies, tax incentives, and renewable energy regulations in easing the shift to entirely renewable power. the significance of incorporating renewable energy targets into overall energy plans, encouraging investment from the commercial sector, and resolving issues with energy storage, grid integration, and infrastructure development. In order to reach global renewable energy targets, the article also delves into the importance of policy alignment and international cooperation. The major policy drivers that can assist expedite the worldwide transition to a sustainable, renewable-powered future are highlighted in this paper through an analysis of case studies from nations that have achieved substantial progress towards 100% renewable energy. The results highlight the need of government policies that are robust, consistent, and future-oriented in order to achieve 100% renewable energy and construct a sustainable, low-carbon energy system.
