Positioning U.S. Businesses for Long-Term Energy Success in a Rapidly Changing Global Market as the International Energy Agency reports energy investment of $3.3 trillion in 2025
As energy markets evolve at rapid pace, new data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) underscores a critical shift: global investment in clean energy technologies is now twice as high as investment in fossil fuels. In 2025, a projected $2.2 trillion will flow into renewables, nuclear, storage, grid infrastructure, low-emissions fuels, efficiency, and electrification—compared to $1.1 trillion for oil, gas, and coal.
At Environ Energy, we see this as evidence that the Energy Transition is truly underway. This is a defining moment that will impact your business in coming years. Businesses across all sectors—regardless of political outlook—will either adapt to this Energy Transition by securing investment and incentives, navigating market changes, and ensuring operations continue unimpeded; or they will end up chasing their competitors who have effectively adapted.
What This Means for U.S. Businesses
The investment numbers tell a compelling story of how the Energy Transition is unfolding:
- Electricity sector investments are now 50% higher than total fossil fuel supply investments—a reversal of the energy investment hierarchy just 10 years ago.
- Global solar PV investment alone will surpass $450 billion this year.
- Grid spending, while significant at $400 billion annually, is not yet keeping pace with the rising demand for electrification and distributed energy systems.
While politics can influence this Transition, it’s actually economics, reliability, and risk management that are driving energy decision making. The energy system of the next decade will be built on cleaner, more efficient, and more distributed technologies. Businesses that educate themselves to act now will be best positioned to benefit.
The Role of Strategic Advisory in a Complex Transition
At Environ Energy, we help businesses plan, procure, and engineer their energy future—building strategies that withstand volatile markets, evolving regulations, and rising climate impact. Our work is designed to support both long-term growth and near-term stability.
Our key focus areas include:
🔹Energy Procurement & Strategy – Drive down price and volatility by building market hedge portfolios, taking advantage of incentive programs, and identifying alternative supply options like PPAs, low-emissions fuel sources, or on-site generation.
🔹 Engineering Support – Identifying electrification and lower-carbon pathways, analyzing distributed energy systems and grid-resilient solutions, and reducing consumption and emissions through operational retrofits.
🔹 Sustainability & Risk Advisory – Delivering tailored services in climate risk assessments, science-based targets, climate transition planning and reporting that aligns with investor expectations and regulatory shifts.
Whether your primary concern is cost predictability, ESG performance, regulatory compliance, or energy security, our data-driven approach helps you make smart, future-proof decisions.
Navigating a Divided Landscape with Confidence
While global clean energy investment continues to accelerate, U.S. businesses must sometimes operate amid conflicting federal signals. But energy transformation doesn’t wait for political cycles. Local governments, international markets, and forward-thinking investors are already finding their way to defining competitive advantages.
Environ Energy helps clients focus on positive outcomes. We work with energy managers, CFOs, and sustainability officers to interpret changing energy dynamics and turn them into opportunity.
