Delivering the energy transition in a fractured world: Navigating price volatility, geopolitical risk, and supply chain disruption
- Critical Energy Transition Moment: Pandemic aftermath still impacting the energy sector despite subsiding.
- Supply Chain Challenges: Global economic shutdown hampers supply chain investments, leading to shortages in metals, fossil fuels, and transport.
- Renewable Energy Cost Surge: Batteries and solar cells see a 30% cost increase despite a decade of falling prices.
- Macroeconomic Stagflation: Accommodative monetary and fiscal policy – especially in USA – has created a macroeconomic environment of stagflation, blunting investment signals and signalling a potential shift to higher interest rates.
- Geopolitical Impact on Energy: Geopolitical conflicts, especially the war in Europe, influence energy dynamics as supply of energy is being wielded as among Russia’s most potent weapons.
- European Energy Security: Discussions centre on the global energy transition, emphasising the impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine on European energy security.
