Enabling a sustainable power sector
By 2050 more than 70 percent of electricity is forecast to come from renewable sources in the global drive to reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. The power sector is undergoing a transformation as it looks to limit its environmental impact while meeting changing consumer expectations.
Conventional energy companies, which account for more than 80 percent of total energy supply, are developing strategies to diversify, decarbonise, ultimately pursue a net zero emissions goal and realise the opportunities of the energy transition.
In clean energy, investment and support for technologies including solar and wind are increasing while nuclear – and future fusion technology – has a key role in meeting supply. These new and emerging infrastructure projects are highly innovative, high-tech and high value, and have major significance for their clients, communities and nations.
Enhancing power grids to deliver electricity to main demand and storage centres remains a priority, as does the drive for interconnectors linking countries and continents to boost resilience and efficiency.
The power sector needs to prepare for further disruption with the growth of decentralised energy generation and micro-grids.
