Energy Transition: Investing in Security, Scale and Systemic Change

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 From 13:30 to 15:00 CEST Centre International de Conférences Genève - Room 9 (Level 2)

Energy security, rapid electrification, and rising demand for reliable power are reshaping investment priorities across markets.   Delivering a pragmatic transition will require far more than capital commitments: it will depend on the capacity to finance, build and operate the infrastructure needed to provide secure, affordable and lower-carbon energy at scale.

This Action Event brings together private market finance, specialist renewable-energy infrastructure managers and policy voices to examine the investment opportunities emerging across renewable generation, battery storage, flexible and resilient grids, industrial decarbonization and electrified transport.

Moving beyond high-level commitments, the discussion will focus on the conditions required to make utility-scale transition infrastructure investable: appropriate risk allocation, long-term capital, credible revenue models, co-investment structures and enabling policy and regulatory frameworks. Speakers will consider how finance, corporates and governments can work together to unlock deployment and build energy systems that are cleaner, more competitive and more resilient.
