Investing in Reliable, Affordable Clean Energy at Scale
The Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) and CleanCapital, in partnership with White & Case, are hosting a closed-door executive roundtable discussion on the current and future state of play of clean energy investment, with a focus on strategies to develop affordable, secure, and reliable energy.
Agenda
8:30 – 9:00 am: Breakfast and Networking
9:00 – 10:45 am: Roundtable Discussion
Background
Continued volatility in global energy markets has intensified debates over energy security, affordability, and the pace of the energy transition. In the United States, rising energy demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, the onshoring of manufacturing, and transportation electrification, is colliding with mounting affordability pressures, infrastructure constraints, and increasingly politicized conversations about the country’s energy future.
This annual roundtable discussion will bring together leaders across finance, energy, and industry to examine the current state of play for clean energy and energy efficiency investment, assess the risks and opportunities shaping capital allocation decisions, and explore strategies to deliver affordable, secure, and reliable energy at the pace and scale required by growing demand.
Key questions shaping this year’s conversation include:
How has the global energy crisis impacted the pace and scale of investment in the energy transition, and the value of a diversified portfolio?
Will the U.S. be able to modernize and build the infrastructure needed to deliver clean energy and energy efficiency to satisfy rising energy demand at the pace, scale, and price point that is needed?
What role can investors, lenders, corporations, and policymakers play in accelerating clean energy deployment while overcoming persistent bottlenecks?
