Innovation, insights and sustainable strategies so you can drive the energy transition

Power and utilities

Hero image

Keeping the lights on isn’t enough. The sector is under pressure to deliver secure, affordable and low-carbon energy. But the path forward has hurdles. Grid stability is under threat. Ageing infrastructure needs urgent upgrades. Capital investment must scale.

Technology, digitalisation and new business models can reshape operations quickly. And the winners will be those who adapt fast.

Key trends impacting power and utilities

Electricity leads the energy shift

The future is built on electricity. More sectors—from transport to heavy industry—are electrifying. Power companies must prepare for skyrocketing demand while maintaining stability.

Renewables take centre stage

Net zero is impossible without clean energy. Investing in renewables and grid resilience isn’t optional—it’s essential. Leaders are already making the shift. 

Efficiency is everything

Energy demand is rising. Costs are volatile. Efficiency is the fastest, most cost-effective way to cut emissions and improve profitability.

Mega blackouts loom

Ageing grids, extreme weather and cyber threats make power outages a growing risk. You need to prioritise investing in resilience to be well-prepared for the challenges that await.

Grid companies must step up

The power grid is the backbone of the future energy system. Companies must lead the charge—integrating renewables, modernising infrastructure and educating consumers on the energy transition. Adapt now. Lead the change. The future of power depends on it.
