Abstract : The global transition to renewable energy has gained significant momentum over the past decade, particularly in emerging markets. Between 2015 and 2025, renewable energy investments in these regions have surged, driven by falling tech- nology costs, international climate commitments, and increasing energy demand. This paper examines investment trends in key emerging economies—including India, Brazil, Vietnam, South Africa, and Kenya—across solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy sectors. Using data from IRENA, Bloomberg NEF, and the IEA, we analyze growth trajectories, financing sources, policy impacts, and technological preferences. Challenges such as political instability, grid constraints, and financ- ing risks are also explored. The paper concludes with insights into the post-2025 investment outlook and strategic recommendations to enhance capital flow and project deployment in developing regions.
