It is recognized that public sector funds alone
will not be enough to finance the scale of the energy
and green transition across the Asia-Pacific region.
To ‘crowd in’ both concessional and commercial capital
in order to advance energy transition, governments
have been launching blended finance and transition
partnership initiatives to fill this gap. See our briefing
here for more information on blended finance.
In a similar vein, the UK Government launched
a Clean Power 2030 Action Plan in December 2024
which sets a goal of at least 95% of electricity from clean
sources in the UK by 2030. This will create opportunities
throughout the whole project process from planning and
consents through workforce and supply chains to grid
connections and energy markets. Blended finance is
a recurring theme in the aims of the National Wealth
Fund and Great British Energy to maximize investment
from the private sector for a more efficient and just
energy transition.
In the US, the Inflation Reduction Act has provided a
stimulus for transition to clean energy harnessing the
large investment potential of US investors and helping
to drive global decarbonisation. Whilst 2025 is set to be a
year affected by political change, the theme of financing
energy transition is expected to remain a top priority in
many jurisdictions around the world.
Energy transition is a multifaceted and complex
challenge that requires the collaboration of governments,
businesses, and individuals, across the private and public
sectors. In this publication, we take a deeper dive into the
complexities, looking at the priorities that came out of
COP 29, how technology and AI will influence this space,
and the ever-growing web of ESG regulations affecting
businesses and financial institutions globally.
