Under Pressure
This Energy Industry Update (EIU) examines how the combination of rising post-pandemic energy demand, ambitious decarbonization targets, high commodity prices, and geopolitical events are combining to put pressure on the global energy industry. In this spring 2022 edition of the EIU, you will learn how utilities are considering portfolios of carbon emissions reduction options to meet their net-zero commitments. We will explore how power supply developers are navigating the lengthy timelines for interconnection to the grid and the impact on the addition of renewable energy resources into the resource mix. We will also examine how rising natural gas prices have, at least temporarily, reversed the secular trend of coal-to-gas fuel switching, with some unexpected implications.
