Energies Invest’s Post

The velocity of #EnergyTransition and industrial reconfiguration create an exciting arena for M&A in energy, utilities and resources in the second half of 2024.

Our Global M&A Trends in Energy, Utilities & Resources Mid-Year Outlook is out: Sustainability remains a critical driver in M&A decisions, with regulatory frameworks influencing investments and we expect this will lead to an uptick in M&A activity in the second half of 2024.

Despite its challenges, the UK energy and gas sectors are buoyant. Emerging technologies and an economy-wide focus on decarbonisation are expected to continue to result in major capex programmes emerging throughout 2024.

Just back from the OEUK Breakfast Briefing where the Business Outlook & Supply Chain report was launched. It contains good data on where the UK's energy currently comes from and how this will change out to 2050. Key message is that further investment in oil and gas development is needed to avoid negative energy security and environmental outcomes. If we get this right, we can secure the skills and supply chain capability to deliver our own energy transition and export this expertise to other regions.

🏡Getting renewables into homes at scale and speed. Developing new infrastructure to enable the supply of renewables is anything but simple – but SSE is stepping up to the challenge. It's committed to help creating enough offshore wind-power capacity to power every home in the UK, by shaping a supply-chain strategy for six crucial transmission network developments. ⚡ Read more about their journey here ➡ https://deloi.tt/3IjWRH3

Energy companies’ clean energy investments are soaring, yet oil & gas remain a core focus. The IEA’s latest report highlights the sector’s balancing act: investing for a cleaner future while meeting immediate energy demands. Strategic capital allocation is key to navigating this evolving landscape. https://lnkd.in/dt-4nU_u

By 2030, 9 GW of offshore wind energy could save New England about $1.57 billion in funds that would otherwise go toward gas fuel. Instead, local #offshorewind investment will boost the New England economy and create energy independence.

This morning the OEUK team are presenting our latest Business & Supply Chain Outlook report at our London Breakfast Briefing, many thanks to our series sponsor and hosts Deloitte, plus all attendees and panel speakers. We're also presenting in Durham at our lunch event and again tomorrow in Lowestoft, as we share our report findings with our regional members. The UK has a £450bn domestic energy opportunity that could transform the economy and support jobs – but warning lights are flashing. Our Business Outlook & Supply Chain report launched today shows how, with the right conditions, the UK’s offshore energy sector could invest in oil, gas, wind, hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects by 2040, but this needs a stable environment that allows a fair return. A homegrown energy transition, and its benefits, is a choice to unleash the UK’s potential and power its future, we ask policymakers to choose this path.

Increasing the #AR6 budget is a really important move by Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Although there are (and probably always will be) more eligible projects than the budget allows for, this sends a very clear signal that the U.K. is serious about renewables and rebuilding its energy infrastructure. #renewables #netzero #investment
