This expanding alliance is positioned to become a decisive force in the supply of traditional energy resources such as oil and natural gas, particularly given the inclusion of energy-rich nations. With Russia and Saudi Arabia-two of the world's largest energy producers-as well as major energy consumers like China and India, BRICS+ is poised to drive a new equilibrium in energy markets. Enhanced cooperation and increased trade volumes among the bloc members can foster a more balanced distribution of energy resources both regionally and globally. This study analyzes the role of BRICS+ countries in global energy policy and examines the potential impact of these evolving power dynamics on energy markets. Notably, it highlights BRICS+ leadership in renewable energy investments and the global energy transition. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.en10.4018/979-8-3693-7393-4.ch011info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEnergy PolicyEnergy SupplyInvestmentsMarketingPower MarketsRenewable EnergyChina And IndiaEnergyEnergy ConsumerEnergy MarketsEnergy ProducersEthiopiaGlobal EnergyOil And Natural GasSaudi ArabiaSouth AfricaEnergy TransitionBook Part3453832-s2.0-105008600844N/A
