And the day has come! We just launched the World Energy Investment report with a plus this year: what is expected for 2020.
Spoiler alert: #Covid19 has triggered the largest annual fall in global energy investment in history (-20%). Before Covid it was set to increase [THREAD]
This @iea report tracks and quantifies investment data across the energy sector, with sections on fuel supply, power, energy end-use and efficiency, energy financing and funding, and R&D and technology innovation >> summary here https://iea.li/3c2JmJ3  w/ access to full report

Most visible effects in O&G, but no sector is immune
#2: Clean energy investments have been relatively resilient, but trends and levels are still low and poorly aligned with a sustainable path
In the power sector, much more investment in renewable and grids was and is still needed

#5: Borrowing costs and credit conditions are showing worrying signs, especially for some public utilities in emerging and developing countries
