## In brief

- More than a dozen countries, including Germany, South Korea, Pakistan and several small island states, have publicly backed the Turkish COP31 presidency's flagship electrification pledge.
- The pledge is voluntary and aims to raise electricity's share of global final energy consumption.
- Support comes with caveats on clean power and on finance.

## Why it matters

It shows how far governments are willing to publicly commit to electrification ahead of COP31, and the caveats on clean power and finance will shape whether the voluntary pledge leads to real action.
