Power the world’s transition to cleaner, smarter energy.

Power the World’s Transition to Cleaner, Smarter Energy

 

Power and energy sit at the centre of the global economic and environmental transition, as countries race to secure supply, cut emissions and modernise ageing grids all at once. The sector spans everything from nuclear and renewables to oil, gas and the storage and transmission networks that keep power flowing reliably around the clock.

This transformation plays out differently across the world’s major energy systems.

  • France draws nearly 70% of its electricity from nuclear power, operating the largest reactor fleet in Europe and maintaining one of the most decarbonised electricity mixes of any major economy, with 97% coming from low carbon sources.
  • Brazil leads the G20 in renewable electricity, generating close to 88% of its power from hydro, wind and solar, one of the cleanest large scale grids in the world.
  • The United Kingdom is the world’s second largest offshore wind market, with over 16 gigawatts of operating capacity supplying nearly a fifth of the country’s electricity.
  • The United States remains the world’s largest producer of both crude oil and natural gas, reaching record output in 2025 and reshaping global energy trade through its shale revolution.

Wherever they operate, power and energy companies face the same core challenge: securing reliable, affordable supply while accelerating the shift toward low carbon generation and modernised grid infrastructure. This is exactly where ABGi operates, helping companies across generation, storage and distribution secure R&D tax credits and innovation funding for their energy transition projects.
