Energy

The global energy industry is undergoing significant transformation. The extraction of resources, development of infrastructure, and the reliable supply and delivery of energy remain the primary engines of global economic growth—yet the sector is increasingly defined by AI-driven electricity demand, grid constraints, energy security, and an evolving mix of clean, conventional, and emerging technologies. 

As governments and companies adapt and respond to rapidly evolving needs, clean energy investment continues to accelerate, while the global energy mix remains hybrid, with oil and gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) playing a substantial role even as advanced renewables, nuclear, hydrogen, and storage technologies scale. Navigating this landscape means balancing energy affordability with regulatory compliance amidst volatile markets and divergent industrial policies.

Companies across the value chain face growing pressures—from grid modernization needs and supply chain competition to permitting challenges, aging infrastructure, and policy uncertainty—creating both substantial opportunity and meaningful obstacles.
