Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA)

The Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) was established at COP28 with the adoption of the UAE Declaration of Action. This Alliance unites leading global utilities and power companies with the aim of spearheading the development of grids that are ready for renewable energy, promoting clean energy solutions, and advancing electrification efforts. UNEZA operates under the guidance of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, ensuring a focused and strategic approach to achieving a sustainable energy future. UNEZA’s Members and Partners recognize that the key to unlocking the utility sector’s global energy transition potential lies in the ability to deliberately target existing structural, regulatory, and financial impediments and challenges that may stand in the way of progress. TAQS and SSE are Co-Chairs of the Alliance. Members and Partners work proactively to address the barriers through global cooperation, knowledge development and public-private consultations supported by Ecosystem Partners.
