In its “World Energy Investment 2023” report, the agency said, “For every $1 spent on fossil fuels, $1.7 is now spent on clean energy. Five years ago this ratio was 1:1.”
The report added that the though declining investment in coal supply is above the pre-pandemic level and is expected to increase by 10 per cent in 2023.
The IEA said that the war in Ukraine has accelerated momentum behind the deployment of clean energy technologies. It is led by renewable power and electric vehicles (EVs). In power, solar energy has the highest investment.
Moreover, the investments in EVs have more than doubled since 2021.
It also highlighted that if the investment in green energy continues at the rate seen since 2021, aggregate spending in 2030 on low-emission power, grids, storage, and end-use electrification would exceed the levels required to meet the world’s announced climate pledges.
“For some technologies, notably solar, it would match the investment required to get on track for a 1.5-degree Celsius stabilisation in global average temperatures,” the report said.
