RE100's Renewable Power Procurement Hurdles topic image

Grid bottlenecks, regulation, and a lack of purchasing options add constraints, with access varying sharply by market: South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore report low renewable shares, while use has risen substantially among members in South Africa and Mexico. These differences show how local electricity markets shape companies' ability to meet renewable energy commitments.
