Power in Transition: Charting a path to a sustainable energy future through private equity investments
Key themes:
- Power demand is accelerating, driven by data center growth, electrification of transport and industry, and population increases.
- Power supply is becoming more volatile and less predictable due to extreme weather and a larger share of renewables like solar and wind, which generate electricity at variable rates.
- The widening gap between demand and supply is causing more frequent outages and higher power prices, putting pressure on household and business budgets and threatening the continuity of essential services.
- Bridging this gap will require significant investment on both the supply and demand sides, creating opportunities for private equity to help build a more resilient, affordable, and sustainable energy system
