Creating competitive advantage through sustainable energy investments
The energy transition challenge
Investments aligned with global decarbonisation goals are now critical. Being sustainable and being able to demonstrate it with actions is also what shareholders expect from modern companies. But what are sustainable solutions and how to ensure their financial viability?
The challenge with a swift and effective energy transition lies in the multitude of factors to take into consideration: how to balance the economic, financial, technical, societal and environmental aspects of energy-related projects?
These apply to all, whether you’re a utility company, operate in an energy-intensive industry or work on energy infrastructure.
Some of the key questions that investors and decision-makers face are:
- How to assess the feasibility and profitability of energy projects in a dynamic and uncertain market?
- How to optimise the design and operation of energy systems to maximise performance and minimise costs and emissions?
- How to integrate renewable energy sources and storage solutions into the existing grid infrastructure and ensure reliability and security of supply?
- How to comply with the regulatory and policy frameworks and meet the sustainability and social responsibility goals?
- How to leverage the latest technologies and innovations to create value and competitive advantage?
