M&A activity in the energy sector remained strong throughout
2024. A wave of consolidations prompted numerous megadeals
and mid-size acquisitions concentrated in oil and gas, which
remained a critical focus of the sector as the clean energy
build-out struggled to keep pace with rising consumption.
Electrification across sectors, along with substantial power
needs for generative AI and data centers, further intensified
global demand, driving investments in power generation,
grids, and energy storage. Funds continued to target global
energy and infrastructure investments, while nuclear energy
experienced a renaissance as a significant player in the sector.
