In 2019 I spent an incredibly satisfying holiday driving around northern Norway in an electric car. I was inspired by the infrastructure, and the number of fellow EV drivers on the roads – so different from my UK experiences. Charging up meant weaving in a few waits in small, pretty towns. Since then, renewable infrastructure has improved around the world. And as clean energy transitions accelerate, renewables are integral to meeting climate commitments.

They benefit the planet and communities – and can make for great holidays.

So how do we get on the front foot of the renewables revolution, and find the selling power?
