Global energy crisis

Statista trend report on the global energy crisis

Global energy crisis

Since 2021, the world has been immersed in a global energy crisis that has greatly affected energy prices, contributed to inflation, and has had consequences for households, industry, and the economy overall. During the last two years, natural gas, electricity, and coal have reached prices never seen before, and oil has been at its highest price since 2008. Furthermore, the energy crisis has come with a profound realignment of energy trade flows, changes in energy consumption, and is having implications for the green energy transition.

This Statista report provides insight into the factors that have contributed to the tightening of energy markets since 2021. The report examines recent changes in energy prices and their impact on consumers, how global energy trade and natural gas consumption changed during 2022, and how the current energy crisis will affect the energy transition.
