The problem is the capacity of energy transportation and distribution for renewable energies. In a world where demand for energy continues to increase, transitioning towards clean energy requires overcoming numerous obstacles to achieve climate goals set for 2050. Electric grids, storage systems, and energy efficiency are lagging behind with the growing installed capacity of renewables. Annual investments in infrastructure should double by 2035 to reach $1 trillion over the next decade, following Irena's proposed trajectory. Electricity needs to be transportable, distributed, and used when needed, even in the presence of variability from renewables.

Investments in networks should double, rising from the current $500 billion annually to around $1 trillion over the period 2026-2035, reaching $1.2 trillion by the following decade. As demand for electricity increases due to electrification of consumption, electric vehicles, heating pumps, and electric industrial processes will gradually replace combustion-based technologies. Additionally, energy consumption for climate control and artificial intelligence data centers can concentrate large power demands in specific areas. In the Irena scenario, the share of electricity in global energy consumption would rise from the current 23% at the end of 2035 to 35% by 2050, surpassing 50% by then. In the European Union, this could reach up to 64%.

Electricity electrification also offers structural advantages: many electric technologies consume less energy compared to combustion-based systems. However, global efficiency remains behind. The problem is not just the capacity for transporting and distributing alternative energies, but also the difficulty of transitioning towards a more green and efficient system. Complex challenges involve investing in new means of transportation and distribution such as electric trains or electric cars, and improving renewable technology and efficiency. In conclusion, energy transition halts precisely when renewables break all records, yet despite this, the demand for energy continues to grow.

To achieve the climate targets set for 2050, it will be necessary to overcome numerous complex obstacles, including increasing global consumption pressure, limitations on the transport and distribution of alternative energy sources, and challenges related to implementing a transition towards a more green and efficient system.
