Where Clean Power Meets Industry: Powering Industrial Clusters with Clean Energy in Emerging Economies

​Reliable, affordable clean electricity is becoming essential to industrial competitiveness, yet renewable energy development, industrial planning, and grid investment often move on separate tracks. This session will explore how emerging economies can bring these efforts together to power growing industrial clusters, attract investment, and support the transition away from fossil fuels.

​Drawing on experiences from South Korea, Indonesia, and other emerging economies, the dialogue will examine approaches such as green industrial parks, renewable energy zones, and clean energy corridors. Participants will discuss how coordinated planning can connect industrial demand with renewable generation, grids, storage, land use, and electricity procurement, while adapting solutions to different national and local contexts.

​This interactive dialogue will bring together policymakers, industry, investors, and development partners to share practical lessons and identify opportunities for collaboration. Discussions will focus on the policy reforms, institutional coordination, and financing models needed to turn renewable energy ambitions into investable projects that support clean industrial development.
