As the war in Iran disrupts global energy markets, energy companies are accelerating investments in other regions and increasing spending on renewable energy, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and coal to strengthen supply security. The IEAs 2026 Global Energy Investment Report states that despite the turmoil in the Middle East, capital investment in the energy sector will grow by 5% in 2026, reaching $3.4 trillion, of which $2.2 trillion will be invested in renewable energy, energy storage, power grids, and low-emission fuels. Investment in oil supply will be less than $500 billion. The growth in natural gas investment is mainly driven by US LNG projects, but the current crisis has made Asian importers more cautious about their reliance on natural gas. Coal investment will reach a 14-year high of $180 billion. Nuclear energy investment is recovering, with investment expected to reach $80 billion this year. Middle East oil and gas investment is projected to decline by 1% in 2026, as capital deployment capacity is weakened by infrastructure damage, declining revenues, and production disruptions.
