amsterdam - IEA Chief Fatih Birol predicts a decrease in energy prices in the coming years due to a surge in solar energy, wind energy, and cheap gas.

IEA Chief Fatih Birol predicts a decrease in energy prices in the coming years due to a surge in solar energy, wind energy, and cheap gas. Birol, an energy economist from Turkey, highlighted the importance of securing energy and prioritizing climate concerns in Europe. He emphasized the need for adequate financial resources to support green technologies and sectors.

According to Birol, the majority of new energy facilities being built globally rely on renewable sources, with a small percentage coming from fossil fuels. The rapid growth in renewable energy capacity, especially driven by China, is reshaping the energy landscape. Europe faces the challenge of maintaining industrial competitiveness amidst high energy costs, but the influx of LNG from the US and Qatar is expected to drive gas prices down, benefiting businesses and households.

Birol also discussed the transition to clean energy, noting that sustainable energy is becoming cheaper and more viable. He stressed the importance of providing a clear vision and support to the public during this transition. Additionally, he commented on the potential resurgence of nuclear energy and its role in ensuring energy security and reducing CO2 emissions.

Despite global challenges, Birol remains optimistic about the rapid progress towards clean energy, driven by investments and technological advancements. He underlined the need for strategic planning and European leadership in areas such as offshore wind, batteries, and hydrogen production. While acknowledging potential hurdles, Birol emphasized the irreversible shift towards sustainable electricity generation.

Birol's insights shed light on the evolving energy landscape and the imperative of balancing economic interests with environmental concerns. The increasing competitiveness of alternatives to fossil fuels signals a transformative period in the energy sector, with renewable energy poised to take center stage.
