Investment in resources and energy commodities grew and diversified in 2025, with Australia now hosting 432 major projects spanning new energy and traditional commodities.
The 2025 REMP shows a healthy and stable investment outlook for Australia’s resources and energy sector. At 31 October 2025 there were 432 major resource and energy projects under development in Australia, up from 407 projects a year earlier.
Highlights from the 2025 REMP:
- The value of committed projects edged back from $65 billion to $62 billion, as some committed projects were completed.
- Oil and gas projects continue to make up the largest share of committed projects by value.
- Critical minerals projects continue to progress and expand despite sometimes challenging conditions and smaller project sizes. Around a quarter of projects at each stage in this year’s list were critical minerals, with $20 billion of proposed investment for later-stage projects.
- Infrastructure projects totalled $1.9 billion of committed projects. These projects cover new and expanded gas pipelines, resource processing, port and rail upgrades, and decarbonisation projects.
