Energy Transition

The energy transition refers to the shift from fossil-fuel-based energy systems to renewable and low-carbon energy sources, at both a societal and organisational level.

Definition

The energy transition describes the ongoing global and organisational shift away from fossil fuels toward renewable and low-carbon energy sources — solar, wind, and other renewables — alongside supporting shifts like electrification of heating and transport. At an organisational level, participating in the energy transition typically means increasing renewable energy procurement, electrifying fossil-fuel equipment, and improving overall energy efficiency.

Why It Matters

Organisations that plan for the energy transition proactively — rather than reactively — are generally better positioned for both regulatory changes and potential energy cost volatility as markets shift.
