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]

#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

#3: Coal power investment is lowering, but it& #39;s not gone. Coal power generation has been decreasing over the last years, but approvals for coal power plants are still happening - they edged up in 2019 and more is expected in 2020
#4: The role of the private and public actors varies substantially by region and sector >> this has strong implications on how different countries are able to support their energy sector, attract capital to it and mitigate the impact of the economic crisis
#5: Borrowing costs and credit conditions are showing worrying signs, especially for some public utilities in emerging and developing countries
PS. I will come back with more charts (you weren& #39;t thinking this was the top5 of the entire report right?) More to come [END]
