Power & utilities


The power and utilities sector is undergoing significant disruption across all energy sources. Electrification is boosting demand, particularly from lucrative commercial segments like data centers and EV charging, and efficiency gains although material fail to temper overall growth.

Solar, wind, geothermal, and other renewables are driving down costs and increasing adoption, pressuring traditional coal- and gas-fired generation, which now faces rising regulatory and ESG demands. This shift necessitates massive investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure.

New technologies like energy storage and the entry of oil and gas companies into electricity markets are further accelerating this transformation, leading to immense capital investments and a reshaped power and utilities landscape.
