Investment in Clean Energy Reached $2.3 Trillion in 2025, BloombergNEF Says

Investment in clean energy climbed to a record $2.3 trillion in 2025, underscoring how capital continues to flow into low carbon technologies even as global economic conditions remain uneven. The latest figures from BloombergNEF show the energy transition is no longer a niche trend but a central pillar of global investment strategy.

The data comes from BloombergNEF’s Energy Transition Investment Trends 2026 report, which tracks spending across power, transport, grids, manufacturing and climate-focused technology. According to the research team, total clean energy investment rose by roughly 8% compared with 2024, extending a decade-long growth streak and reinforcing the shift away from fossil fuels.

Electric transport dominated spending with nearly $900 billion poured into electric vehicles, charging networks and related infrastructure, making it the single largest investment category. BloombergNEF analysts say falling battery costs, expanding model ranges and stricter emissions rules are pushing EVs from early adoption into the mainstream. As one BloombergNEF researcher noted, electrified transport is now doing most of the heavy lifting for the energy transition.

Renewable power attracted about $690 billion, still a massive sum but lower than the year before. The decline was largely tied to regulatory changes in China’s power market, which slowed new project approvals. Even so, solar and wind remain foundational to the transition, supplying the clean electricity needed to support electrified transport and industry.

Grids quietly emerged as another major focus as well. Investment in transmission and distribution systems reached roughly $483 billion in 2025, reflecting the growing need to move clean power from where it is generated to where it is consumed. Grid upgrades, storage and digital controls are increasingly seen as bottlenecks that must be fixed if renewables are to scale further.

Regionally, the balance of power is clear as Asia Pacific accounted for close to half of global clean energy investment. China alone invested around $800 billion despite a slowdown in renewables while India posted one of the fastest growth rates, with spending rising about 15% as it expanded clean power and electrification projects. Europe also stepped up, lifting investment by roughly 18% as climate targets translated into concrete spending. The United States saw more modest growth of just over 3%, even as policy support became less predictable.

Beyond infrastructure, money also flowed into supply chains and finance. Spending on clean energy manufacturing climbed to about $127 billion, while equity funding for climate tech rebounded sharply after several weak years. Debt financing followed a similar path, with loans and bonds tied to the energy transition reaching around $1.2 trillion.

Looking forward, BloombergNEF expects annual clean energy investment to keep rising, potentially approaching $2.9 trillion within five years. The International Energy Agency has echoed that outlook, while warning that current levels still fall short of what is needed to meet long term climate goals.

The message from both groups is blunt. Record spending is a milestone, not the finish line, and the scale of investment will need to accelerate further if net zero targets are to remain credible. With entities like Turbo Energy S.A. (NASDAQ: TURB) ramping up their operations, we are likely to see renewables gaining more traction around the world.
