Global energy transition and security trends

Overview

Developments in the global energy sector indicate a growing focus on energy security, technological shifts, and investment opportunities. In the European Union, legislative discussions emphasize integrating climate and energy priorities into financial frameworks, while research suggests that market uncertainty may impact the stability of carbon futures within the EU Emissions Trading System.

Technological advancements are evident in Australia, where large-scale battery storage has begun to supply more electricity during evening peak periods than gas-fired power plants. In the United States, the advanced nuclear pipeline is projected to hold 53 percent of unrisked capacity.

Long-term projections suggest a massive investment opportunity for energy and resource companies through 2060, driven by a surge in solar, wind, and battery capacity alongside a revival of nuclear energy. Global power demand is expected to double by 2060 in base case scenarios.
