According to “geopolitical fragmentation” sensitivity of bp energy outlook 2025, a stronger focus on energy security and reshoring supply chains could raise costs for solar & wind by 12-18 %, slowing renewables in Europe. Gas & Coal are likely winners.

Wind & solar to dominate future electricity growth, renewables take a rising share of global energy, but geopolitical fragmentation threatens supply chains & climate goals. bp Energy Outlook 2025 shows the stakes are high

Total system generation and balancing costs will be lowest in low latitude “sun belt” countries due to the rapidly falling cost of solar generation and battery storage, and shorter balancing duration needs.
