Renewables

Renewable energy holds the key to cutting global greenhouse gas emissions and meeting one of the biggest challenges facing humanity. 

Around 90% of the renewable capacity required to hit net zero emission targets by 2050 is yet to be built, and global renewables installed capacity will need to grow 10-fold by 2050 and requires over $25 trillion investment. 

Success for companies in this rapidly expanding and increasingly competitive market, means facing many challenges and navigating risks which vary across markets and technologies: 

ERM brings renewables support at every level of the organization and at every decision gateway, be it securing project approvals, supporting day-to-day operations, or tackling strategic challenges – all while reducing risk and driving value creation.
