European Power & Energy Outlook and Growth Opportunities, 2024
Transformative Megatrends Continue to Drive Strong Growth in Europe
The Russo-Ukrainian war has dealt a massive energy shock to Europe, galvanizing policymakers into action. 2023 saw a raft of legislation being finalized, leading to the creation of a legal framework to drive investment in clean technologies. The implementation of these policies will be critical to their effectiveness. Many of the easy decisions have already been taken, and Europe now has to find the right balance between the environment and the economy. Governments in the region need to ensure the transition to green energy without affecting economic performance. The threat for Europe is that pushing cleantech legislation too aggressively will make it challenging for many industries, already under pressure from global competition, to operate successfully.
This outlook provides insights into the dynamics at play in Europe’s power & energy industry. It identifies key investment opportunities and the potential barriers to future growth. Power generation and transmission are at the core of the deliverable, but gas supply and hydrogen have also been featured.
