Unlocking potential: energy investments in emerging economies

Increased energy infrastructure investment in emerging economies will be a cornerstone of achieving global energy access and decarbonisation goals. Despite declarations of public and private investment commitments, significant challenges will need to be overcome in order to deliver the funding needed. Emerging economies receive a small share of global energy investment, often due to high financing costs, limited access to capital markets, and perceived risks such as political instability and regulatory barriers. These obstacles hinder the pace of energy transition and intensify socioeconomic disparities between developed and developing nations, limiting access to the benefits of reliable and clean energy technologies. By attracting private capital as a complement to public finance, innovative financing strategies, derisking mechanisms and strong national energy planning frameworks will play a crucial role in addressing challenges and ensuring humanity prospers together.
