|Event description=The Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) 2026 marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the Asian Development Bank's 60th anniversary while addressing the most pressing challenges in clean energy transition.

ACEF 2026 signifies a crucial milestone in the institution’s energy engagement in Asia and the Pacific. The forum reflects ADB’s updated Energy Policy in 2025 and responds to the region’s growing demand for clean energy solutions that are secure, resilient, and inclusive. It takes place against a backdrop of economic uncertainty in Asia and the Pacific, with regional growth projected to slow to 4.0% in 2026. At the same time, persistent energy access gaps continue to affect more than 400 million people, while rising geopolitical and trade tensions add further pressure on economies across the region.

ACEF serves as a regional platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the promotion of practical clean energy solutions that go beyond conventional transition models. The forum will bring together a diverse range of stakeholders including governments, private sector actors, academia, financial institutions, NGOs, and development partners to collectively address the region's pressing energy challenges and emerging opportunities.

ACEF 2026 will focus on advancing four essential areas: (i) building energy security through diversified, reliable clean energy sources; (ii) developing resilient systems that can withstand disruptions; (iii) promoting inclusion through equitable access and participation; and (iv) developing intelligent energy systems that use digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and smart grids to improve management efficiency.

|Pub Title=24/7 Renewables: The Economics of Firm Solar and Wind
|Pub Organization=IRENA
|Pub Author=IRENA
|Pub Month=May
|Pub Year=2026
|Pub Abstract=Solar and wind have become the cheapest sources of new electricity generation worldwide. As renewable penetration rises, however, the central challenge of the energy transition is increasingly one of adequacy and flexibility – ensuring that clean electricity is available when and where it is needed. This report addresses that challenge by introducing firm levelised cost of electricity (firm LCOE) – a transparent, project-level benchmark for assessing the cost of delivering continuous, reliable electricity from co-located solar PV, onshore wind and battery energy storage systems.

The analysis shows that the cost of firm renewable electricity has declined rapidly across all major technologies and markets. In high-quality solar and wind resource regions, co-located hybrid systems can already deliver round-the-clock electricity at costs competitive with - and in many cases below - those of new fossil-fuel generation. China currently defines the global cost floor, while costs in Brazil, India, South Africa, Australia, and the Gulf region are declining rapidly towards fossil-fuel cost parity.

The report identifies key drivers of firm renewable costs – technology performance, resource quality and system configuration – and examines the policy levers that are proving decisive in translating cost competitiveness into deployment at scale. It concludes that the technologies are maturing, the costs are falling and the commercial demand is growing. The pace at which firm renewable electricity is deployed will be among the most consequential determinants of the global energy transition in the decade ahead.

|URL=https://www.negative-emissions.org/negative-emissions-summit-2026The world’s largest carbon removals policy summit returns to Brussels
|Event description=Europe is entering the decade where durable, high-integrity carbon removals move from “promising” to “system-critical”. The Negative Emissions Summit 2026 convenes policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and CDR providers to focus on one central question:

How do we create credible, scalable demand for permanent carbon removals, fast enough to strengthen EU competitiveness, enable investment, and deliver climate outcomes?

This year’s Summit is built around the mechanisms that can unlock durable demand at scale, especially compliance-driven routes (including the EU ETS) and near-term public purchasing and support schemes that help Europe ramp up capacity before full compliance integration.
