The Energy Institute (EI) will host the 2018 UK launch of the IEA World Energy Investment report.
The World Energy Investment report provides a critical benchmark for decision making by governments, the energy industry and financial institutions. The 2018 edition answers the question of whether global energy investment rose in 2017 after two years of decline, or continued to fall.

It presents a wide range of key metrics that underpin the critical trends in energy sectors, fuels and technologies, taking into the role of changing costs, as well regional and national developments. It provides a unique tool for decision makers as they set policy frameworks, implement business strategies, finance new projects and develop new technologies
World Energy Investment 2018 highlights the ways in which investment decisions taken today are determining how energy supply and demand will unfold tomorrow, complementing the forecasts and projections found in other IEA publications.
This year’s edition addresses key questions, including:
- Which countries and policies attracted the most energy investment in 2017? And what fuels and technologies are growing fastest?
- Is energy investment flowing in harmony with the world’s energy transition objectives?
- How are oil and gas companies responding to higher oil prices? Are they changing their strategy decisions in order to ensure adequate supplies while minimizing long-term risks?
- Are business models and financing approaches supporting a shift in power generation investments towards renewables? How are regulators around the world shaping enabling investments in power system networks and flexibility?
- What policy and market factors drive energy efficiency spending? What new approaches to financing are emerging for efficient goods and services?
- How are the sources of energy finance evolving? What roles are public financial institutions and utilities playing? How are decision makers addressing investment risks in India and other emerging economies?
- What are governments and the energy sector spending on energy R&D? What are the main considerations facing investors in batteries and the electric vehicle value chain, carbon capture, utilisation and storage, and hydrogen?
