The steady economic growth and the changes in weather conditions is boosting the global demand of electricity, which grew 6% in 2021 compared to 2020 levels.

In 2021, the electric power generation market size was estimated at $3.4 trillion, and it is expected to have a CAGR of 7% until 2025. While demand for power is growing, so are challenges faced by the industry: fuel pricing fluctuations, more stringent regulations on emissions- spent nuclear fuel-effluent release, aging and fragile electrical grids, etc. Because power quality and reliability drive investment by other industries, it is a key infrastructure asset used in industrial and commercial recruitment and retention by economic developers.

Geo Strategy Partners understands the unique dynamics of power generation and transmission and serves clients in this sector with customized research and analysis, strategy consulting, and M&A support.
