Forbes: Global Clean Energy Investment Reaches Record $3.3 Trillion in 2025

Global energy investment reached a record $3.3 trillion in 2025, according to a Forbes report citing data from the International Energy Agency. Clean energy technologies attracted the majority of this investment, exceeding funding for all other sectors by more than twofold. In the United States, the cleantech sector, previously stimulated by the Inflation Reduction Act, encountered significant volatility. Over $6 billion in battery manufacturing projects were canceled in the first quarter, driven by increasing political uncertainty. Further disruption occurred when federal regulators briefly halted Ørsted’s $6.2 billion Revolution Wind project. Despite these headwinds, the U.S. market demonstrated resilience, with venture and growth capital investment surging to €6.7 billion in the third quarter, representing its strongest performance since late 2024.
