Recent events have shown that those power companies without a credible ESG plan will face a backlash in the courts, boardrooms, and the public arena. This trend will intensify in the coming decade. Power companies bear much responsibility for climate change and its resulting social effects. Those that can prove they are doing something about it – not just greenwashing – will emerge as leaders.
Leading power companies in ESG
Investment in renewable, low-carbon generation methods has become much easier due to significant reductions in price, especially in offshore wind. Leaders in the power industry are reducing exposure to fossil fuel generation and replacing it with low-carbon sources.
At the consumer level, more individuals now want to power their homes and businesses with renewable power. Not only does renewable generation improve sustainability credentials, but it is also beginning to improve revenues.
