2024-2025 Private equity impact report: Accelerating solutions for a world in transition
The world continues to be challenged by intertwined crises: escalating GHG emissions driving climate change, growing waste straining our resources, and growing inequality that amplifies vulnerability to both. At Nuveen Private Equity Impact, we believe that climate change and inequality are inextricably linked. Despite recent global market and regulatory shifts, we remain focused on backing growth oriented, lower-middle market companies that are driving an inclusive transition to a low-carbon economy. We maintain confident in the long-term fundamentals of investing where impact initiatives are not a trade-off but are directly aligned with performance.

Over the past decade, several forces have combined to push electricity demand to new heights. The rapid expansion of data centers, the electrification of transportation and industry, and steady population growth are all driving up the need for reliable power. At the same time, the supply side is struggling to keep pace. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and the grid’s growing reliance on variable renewable sources like solar and wind makes output less predictable. These factors together create a widening gap between what consumers need and what the grid can consistently deliver.
