Delivering the trillions of investment dollars needed for the energy transition

With an estimated US $35 trillion required for a successful energy transition, bringing in the private capital needed will require larger flows of clean energy projects that match investor’s risks and expectations. While energy companies have refocused investment and increased M&A activity, to deliver measurable transition progress, governments have introduced new policies, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, Europe’s Green Deal and China's 13th five-year plan, which aim to boost the clean energy market, deliver critical infrastructure development and incentivise investment, as well as stimulate national economic growth. What more can governments do to create an enabling environment for both public and private finance institutions to secure the capital needed to fund the energy transition?
