Annual report of energy company
I have translated this literally:
"...demonstrating its determination in accelerating the expansion of renewable energies."
But is there a more suitable phrase that might sound better in English? The context is:
"En investissant en amont dans la production d’énergie solaire, d’énergie éolienne et de biogaz, XXX fait preuve de sa volonté d’accélérer le développement des énergies renouvelables. "
"...demonstrating its determination in accelerating the expansion of renewable energies."
