Five years of fresh insights and analysis exploring the global energy transition
Are you ready for the new era of the Energy Transition? And the opportunities it brings….
Over the past five years, our Powering Change reports have surveyed senior executives and managers involved in energy decision-making for their views on the energy transition. Join us as we explore the unique insights our research shows on the way the market is evolving, the barriers businesses face, and the deep trends shaping the evolving industry.
Navigation of issues such as the developing geopolitical and economic climate, and understanding regulatory frameworks, as well as social climate and capital investment are essential for increasing the adoption of clean energy.
If you have any questions or would like to have a conversation about how prepared you and your organisation are to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the energy transition please contact us. You can also read more about how we support clients on our Sustainability and Energy Transition page.
