Today’s energy landscape is going through a major transformation with global megatrends shaping its evolution. Growth across the whole energy spectrum is driving price and profit, while disruptive innovation is fueling new opportunities for both established and emerging players alike.
Strong sustainable growth and investment across the conventional and alternative energy landscapes will accelerate into the next decade, triggering a rapid transition into renewables. While conventional sources will dominate in the near term, there has been double-digit growth for wind and solar in the past few years, for example. The industry has witnessed a reduction in manufacturing costs, about 80% in solar and 50% in wind. Now more than ever, energy businesses need to prepare for a world where power comes increasingly from renewable sources and develop new strategies to improve resiliency and create sustainable opportunities.
