New episode of Everything Energy podcast tracks where the money is going in the energy world

A new episode of the IEA podcast Everything Energy explores the shifting landscape of global energy investment, which is set to rise to a record $3.3 trillion in 2025 in a context of elevated geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty.

In the episode, which is now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, we hear from Cecilia Tam, the head of the IEA’s Energy Investment Unit. Her team recently produced the 10th edition of the annual World Energy Investment report, the definitive guide to where money is going in the global energy sector. She discusses the report’s key themes, including how energy security concerns are driving investment decisions, China’s position as the single largest investor in energy, and what the major changes in energy investment have been over the past decade.

The IEA launched the new version of the Everything Energy podcast earlier this year. The series offers valuable insights on issues at the centre of the global energy dialogue through conversations with IEA experts about key trends.

Previous episodes of the podcast cover why global energy demand is surging, the vast potential of geothermal energy, the comeback of nuclear energy, how energy will shape the future of AI (and vice versa), and what’s next for electric cars and trucks.

"Amid the geopolitical and economic uncertainties that are clouding the outlook for the energy world, we see energy security coming through as a key driver of the growth in global investment this year."
