Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Rwanda are key economies in the fast-growing East African region, which is emerging as a hotbed for energy-related investments. The expanding urban population, hydrocarbon discoveries, and the growing demand for modern energy forms, such as electricity and natural gas, will drive a socio-economic transformation wherei...

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are crucial in enabling the energy transition. Their deployment is essential to providing electricity systems' flexibility to support higher electrification, relying primarily on variable renewable energy (RE) sources. At the behind-the-meter (BTM) level, batteries are also increasingly recognized as a critical...

Russia’s war on Ukraine has unlocked unprecedented growth opportunities for the Middle East as Europe steers away from Russia for energy supply. The European Union’s commitment to end its reliance on Russian energy by 2027 and its focus on renewables and hydrogen offer ME countries a strong business case for energy investments, given that the regio...

Over the past 5 years, decarbonization, digital transformation, and technology innovation have redefined the global energy landscape. The industry is undergoing an unprecedented transition—one that is simultaneously reshaping business models, investment priorities, and competitive dynamics across the oil and gas and power and energy value chains.As...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused significant disruption to global energy markets. Europe has felt the biggest impact as a significant buyer of oil, and particularly gas, from Russia. In fact, Russia accounted for 35.5% of Europe’s gas supply in 2021. As the volume of gas coming from Russia has fallen, Europe has been scrambling to secure sup...

Universal access to electricity has been central to the African development story, with power being critical to the continent's economic growth. As more than 600 million people (or 44% of the population) lack access to electricity, Africa is racing to add capacity to electrify rural communities and secure baseload supply in urban and industrial zon...

The 2020s have been dubbed the decade of energy storage, and 2024 confirmed this to be true. Battery energy storage CAPEX surged to $65.6 billion, up from $48.9 billion in 2023. This was achieved despite a reduction in battery pack costs in 2024 that meant project costs declined by around 10% across all geographies. The ongoing clean energy transit...
