How the global landscape for energy investment is changing
…And the breakdown of this spending is undergoing some important shifts, our recent World Energy Investment 2026 https://www.iea.org/news/impacts-of-middle-east-conflict-set-to-reshape-energy-investment-plans-as-disruptions-put-focus-on-security report shows.
Energy security is moving higher up the global agenda as a result of two major energy crises this decade. The latest shock, triggered by the war in Middle East, is encouraging investment in a range of projects that diversify suppliers or routes to market, including ways to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz.
It is also reinforcing interest…

Outcome Statement of the IEA’s 11th Annual Conference on Energy Efficiency
…energy transitions. This action plan builds on the outcomes of previous editions of this Annual Conference, which highlighted the "energy efficiency first" principle and set out the global ambition across all sectors, which continues to guide our collective direction.Successive energy crises illustrate how global energy markets can be quickly disrupted, and that energy efficiency is an integral part of government responses to help shelter consumers from price shocks. The first major oil shock in 1973 caused energy prices to surge and exposed the vulnerability of oil-dependent economies. In response, many countries introduced new energy efficiency policies, and without…

How the energy crisis is reshaping investment
As the energy crisis caused by disruptions to oil and gas flows through the Strait of Hormuz continues to unfold, how is it shifting energy investment priorities around the world? In this episode, two IEA experts – Energy Investment Unit head Cecilia Tam and energy investment analyst Kirsten Smith – dig into this question based on new insights from the World Energy Investment 2026 report. With energy security concerns front and centre – and with many countries increasingly looking to meet demand with domestic energy sources – they discuss the implications across different sectors, including oil, gas, coal, nuclear, renewables and electricity. They also…
