Scaling investment in renewable energy systems and phasing out fossil fuels in a just, orderly, and equitable manner
The shift to low-carbon energy is reshaping economies across the world, but planning processes still take place in siloes. Good planning is no longer just about technology choices — it’s about building institutions and planning processes that can steer complex, system-wide change.
Strong global governance and cross-border coordination, can further help connect climate goals with industrial competitiveness, energy security, and development priorities, to deliver equitable access to affordable energy.
We help governments and regional bodies design integrated, least-cost energy pathways by bringing together planning, law, finance, industrial policy, and community rights. This enables investment decisions that account for factors ranging from grid capacity and generation sources to the cost of capital and community impacts.
Energy-intensive industries — such as mining, hard-to-abate sectors, and data processing centers — provide a unique opportunity to anchor renewable energy investments under shared-use agreements, expanding a country’s green infrastructure. We facilitate the development of cross-border governance frameworks that further unlock electricity trade, shared infrastructure, and harmonized policies.
