The Opportunity in the Energy Transition

The utilities sector has a part to play in the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future. Power and utilities suppliers must find ways of halving emissions by 2030 to avoid the impacts of 2 degrees of global warming by rapidly electrifying systems and decarbonising our energy mix. 

Electricity and heat in the energy sector are responsible for 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, creating a unique opportunity and challenge for organisations. The utilities sector sits at the juncture between two critical strategies to facilitate the energy transition and achieve climate change imperatives: to dramatically reduce the footprint of our electrical grid, and combined strategies of electrification, options from the hydrogen economy, decentralised heat and power and gas, as well as grid decarbonisation.
