The World Energy Investment 2025 report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a record $3.3 trillion global energy investment in 2025, with two-thirds going to low-carbon technologies like solar and batteries. This surge is attributed to energy security concerns and the rising competitiveness of clean technologies. However, Africa only receives 2% of this funding despite being home to 20% of the world's population, signaling major disparities. The report also highlights a significant drop in energy investment across Africa over the past decade, calling for increased international funding to attract private capital. Additionally, there is a pressing need for more investment in power grid infrastructure to meet future electricity demand, with current levels below requirements. China leads global energy investment, and solar energy is projected to attract substantial funding. Despite progress, the IEA emphasizes ongoing imbalances threatening a fair energy transition, in line with findings from the Energy Transition Outlook 2023 by Wood Mackenzie, which underscores the extensive investments needed for a net-zero future.
