In recent years we have seen a large increase in innovation and M&A activity. The world’s eyes are on the energy industry as it looks to resolve the major environmental impacts of the last 100 years. To achieve the 2050 global climate goals, urgent investment, in excess of $170 trillion+ in clean energy, is required [1].
The most important and impactful drivers of global change are Technology & Innovation. Renewables, Electrification, Digitisation, and Efficiency are key trends that impact the conservative energy ecosystem, including the existing multi-billion asset base and legacy infrastructure. Additionally, these major trends require new infrastructure, including (but not limited to) battery storage, smart grids, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
The urgency to resolve the legacy issues and innovate the ecosystem is increasing exponentially. Time is limited, and there is growing pressure on the Energy industry to diversify. Societal pressure and increased understanding of humanity’s impact on the environment has led to an acceleration in technology & innovation opportunities.
