The World Energy Council has launched an exclusive Innovation Insights Brief: Energy Infrastructure: Affordability Enabler or Decarbonisation Constraint? The brief contains key insights from interviews with global leaders across the energy sector. Read it here.
Transitioning to a decarbonised energy system will result in stranded infrastructure assets or lead to their early decommissioning. The Insights Brief responds to the emerging need for a coordinated action plan to minimise costs. It offers a set of principles to design an effective plan for energy infrastructure.

Key messages:
-
A successful energy transition depends on adaptable, reliable and affordable infrastructure.
-
Stranded assets are a given but there is a need for timely management so as not to make decarbonisation cost-prohibitive
-
Businesses must reframe market strategies to explore how existing infrastructure can be repurposed to support the transition to low-carbon solutions.=
-
Energy Infrastructure Action plans are needed to ensure that existing infrastructure is part of a global decarbonisation effort.
