The global economy has reached a pivotal moment: access to power is now the defining input for growth. Digitalization, Decarbonization and Deglobalization – the 3 D’s – are driving electricity demand far faster than previously thought, while power is now the key gating item for the delivery of artificial intelligence and the productivity gains it brings. For governments and corporates around the world, access to scalable, reliable and affordable energy is the strategic priority. Meeting this challenge requires an “any-and-all” approach to energy investment. Renewables for cost and speed, battery storage for flexibility, nuclear for scale and reliability, and new grid investment to bring it all together. We’re seeing unprecedented demand from governments and corporates for long-term partnerships that will deliver power at industrial scale, and fast. This is one of the largest investment opportunities of our lifetime, and as we move into 2026, our focus is clear: build the platforms and systems that provide the power the world needs to grow.
