- SPEAKERS
By 2040, electricity grids globally will need to be expanded and upgraded to the equivalent of double their current size in order to support the energy transition, achieve universal access, and manage increasingly complex power flows. Mobilizing the necessary investment while ensuring an affordable supply of energy for all will require financially sustainable power utilities. The World Bank Group is well positioned, and scaling up its efforts, to strengthen utilities in emerging markets in support of SDG7 and the Paris Agreement.
