The global energy system is undergoing its fastest transformation in history. Rising electricity demand, ageing grid infrastructure, climate volatility, and accelerating electrification are reshaping how energy is generated, stored, and distributed worldwide. Despite major progress, 685 million people still lack access to electricity, while grid inefficiencies cost the global economy an estimated $200bn annually.

This report explores SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, highlighting the structural shift toward low-carbon, decentralised, and digitally enabled energy systems. It examines the key macro drivers shaping the sector, including climate change, population growth, urbanisation, and energy security, alongside the policy frameworks accelerating investment across renewables, storage, hydrogen, and grid modernisation.

With global clean energy investment reaching $1.35 trillion in 2025 and projected to exceed $2 trillion annually by 2030, the report provides a detailed overview of market trends, subsectors, M&A activity, and investor appetite. It also profiles active strategic buyers, infrastructure investors, and venture capital players shaping the next phase of the energy transition.
