Most of this growth is driven by an ever increasing demand for electric vehicles. This includes spending on renewables such as wind and solar as well as grid and other infrastructure. Energy storage might form a relatively small piece of the overall financing required, but it is a strategically critical piece of the puzzle.

Oil accounts for most of this decline as, for the first time, global consumer spending on oil is set to fall below the amount spent on electricity. This could be particularly detrimental to the outlook in some developing countries, where financing options and the range of investors can be more limited. —Dr Birol.
