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.

These factors together create a widening gap between what consumers need and what the grid can consistently deliver.Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:00:00 Z{AECAD5DA-3473-487D-AC39-74A8E37A9EE4}https://www.nuveen.com/global/insights/responsible-investing/unlocking-the-value-of-esg-in-municipal-bondsUsing a comprehensive approach, Nuveen helps clients achieve the investment benefits of municipal fixed income while also aligning with their values and delivering positive outcomes for our communities.
