Energy / Utilities

The energy and utilities sector is at the heart of the global transition to a low-carbon economy.

While demand for clean energy grows in mature markets, companies face challenges: renewable energy storage, regulatory uncertainty, price volatility and physical risks.

In emerging countries, the challenge still is the access to reliable and affordable energy for millions of people.

Renewable energy, grid modernisation, energy storage and decentralisation will offer, to energy companies and utilities, pathways for innovation and growth.
