6 Steps to Getting Capital Program Governance Right in the Energy Transition
The complex, dynamic and varied nature of the energy transition calls for an ecosystem of governance and control which is carefully designed, resourced with the right blend of technical and energy specific capabilities and empowered with the right toolkit.
The role of the program office needs to be lifted so that it operates as an engine room, fulfilling a strategic role to support decision makers, manage cross portfolio interfaces, and supporting the development of a high performing PM community. Without this, programs will fail to achieve the all-important task which is before us to roll out energy infrastructure to achieve our clean energy future objectives.
Raising a new fund in 2024?
2023 gave LPs time to breathe and reflect, and to reach a perspective on the performance of their existing roster. For new GPs raising new funds, it was a tough run, as LPs rebalanced portfolio away from PE and VC as equity markets fell, and due diligence processes ran far harder.

Two days ago, BMW announced it would cease the production of internal combustion engines in their home base of Germany. Its main Bavarian plant will be converted for the production of EVs only, while the company relocates its ICE production to the UK and Austria. What can companies facing the transition learn?

Setting Strategy for a Net Zero World
Our thesis is that markets will hit tipping points in the next 2 years, when the risks and opportunities created through Government transition policy begin to give way to a gradual institutional realisation that the world may not meet the challenge of climate change and that financial and physical risks need to be accounted for more urgently. It is no longer enough to set strategy by consultation.
