This commitment comes amid a broader surge in clean energy investments worldwide. Global energy transition investment reached a record $2.1 trillion in 2024, marking an 11% increase from the previous year, driven largely by renewables such as solar, wind, and battery storage technologies[3][13]. The US clean energy manufacturing sector alone has seen quarterly investment triple from $2.5 billion in late 2022 to $14 billion in early 2025, fueled by policies like the Inflation Reduction Act and tax incentives supporting domestic production of batteries, solar panels, and wind turbine components[1].

European utility giant Iberdrola plans to invest €21 billion (approximately $23 billion) through 2028 in renewable generation and energy storage projects, further illustrating the scale of capital flowing into clean energy infrastructure. Their investment focuses heavily on offshore wind (38%), onshore wind (24%), solar (10%), and storage technologies including batteries and pumped storage, aiming to achieve over 60 GW of installed low-carbon capacity by 2028[5].

These investments come at a time when traditional fossil fuel sectors face increasing headwinds. Major oil companies are hedging their bets: while still investing billions in oil and gas production, they are also slowly increasing allocations to low-carbon solutions. However, investors appear to be shifting their preference toward renewable energy and clean technology firms, as reflected in declining valuations of oil and gas stocks relative to clean energy equities[2].

The energy transition remains a complex and capital-intensiv...

The energy transition remains a complex and capital-intensive endeavor. Industry experts estimate trillions of dollars will be needed globally to meet climate goals and sustain economic growth, with much of this funding expected to flow into renewable energy, electrification, and decarbonization technologies over the next decade[6][18]. Despite geopolitical tensions, tariff challenges, and policy uncertainties, the overall trajectory of investment strongly favors a sustained shift away from fossil fuels toward cleaner energy sources.
