This report is part of RMI’s Global Energy Transformation Guide: Electricity series, which is a research endeavor aimed at understanding where the leading edge of innovation is for forward-thinking electricity system transitions across the world. The intent of the Global Guide is to assess what new developments are in motion to secure universal access to reliable, affordable, and clean electricity by identifying key trends, exploring emerging challenges and opportunities, and sharing success stories from electricity system leaders.

The series focuses on eight “catalysts for change” that our research has shown to have the greatest potential to support electricity system transformation. These catalysts are high-impact levers available to industry leaders across countries to transform the power sector. RMI plans to publish separate reports for all eight catalysts to provide more details on where the innovation edge is and where leadership is needed most.
