Energy Transition

Energy Transition

The complex interplay of business innovation, industrial policy, and capital investment that defines the energy transition will ultimately reshape the global economy. We can help you embrace a pragmatic, flexible approach that generates near-term value and addresses your long-term goals.

Energy Transition

The energy transition ranks among the most critical challenges of our age, as companies and countries confront the dual challenge of reducing emissions while meeting increased demand.

A host of transition barriers and market uncertainties, from labor issues, more stringent governmental regulations, and political and macroeconomic disruption to customers’ willingness to pay, have combined to create a very challenging mid-transition period that threatens to slow progress. 

Amid it all, leaders must remain focused on commercial realities, because clean technology solutions can only scale when they produce returns. A shift in focus, from long-term net-zero goals predicated on a 2050 timeframe to practical actions spanning the next 5 to 15 years, can be a strategic game changer. It enables you to assess the dynamics of policy and innovation transforming your industry and determine how best to invest in the new, low-carbon technologies, business models, and supply chains at the heart of the energy transition.

Companies that take this approach can conquer complexity and generate significant returns. Our role as the leading global advisor to cutting-edge players in the energy ecosystem, augmented by our extensive financial investor practice, makes us uniquely situated to understand the challenges confronting capital-intensive and non-capital-intensive transition-related businesses. Our energy transition consulting team will cocreate a solution with you that drives the learning curve down and the deployment curve up so you can achieve value more quickly. Our approach ensures that your strategy remains viable under a range of scenarios and can be dynamically adjusted to eliminate the uncertainties that paralyze action, address the uncertainties that hamper performance, and support robust, resilient decision making.
