How the global landscape for energy investment is changing
…impact energy security, our analysis looked back over the past decade. It found that cumulative investments in efficiency, electrification, biofuels and electricity generation from renewables and nuclear together avoided over $260 billion in fuel import costs among energy importing countries and regions in 2025.
Another major trend has been the falling cost of key energy technologies, led by battery storage systems and solar PV, which have seen costs decline by nearly 80% since 2015 thanks to innovation and growing markets. If the costs of technologies across the energy system had remained where they stood a decade ago, an additional $2…
