Global energy investment set to hit record $3.3 trillion in 2025, IEA says
- The International Energy Agency projects that global energy investment will hit an unprecedented $3.3 trillion in 2025, largely fueled by funding for clean energy initiatives.
- This surge follows post-pandemic recovery packages and rising energy security concerns, despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
- Clean energy investments, covering solar, wind, nuclear, storage, and efficiency, are expected to total $2.2 trillion, nearly double fossil fuel spending which is projected to decline by 6%.
- IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol noted that the rise in global energy investment is largely influenced by countries prioritizing energy security, with solar energy attracting a projected $450 billion in investments by 2025.
- This investment pattern suggests accelerating shifts toward renewable energy, with countries and companies seeking to reduce exposure to energy risks and address climate challenges.
