As COP31 gets underway in Antalya, the focus is increasingly shifting from climate ambition to implementation. Roland Berger is contributing to this debate with a focused engagement around one of the key challenges of the energy transition: accelerating electrification and turning targets into investable, deliverable projects. On 10 November, Roland Berger will partner with IRENA for the session “Transforming the Power Sector by 2030” at the IRENA Pavilion in the Blue Zone. The session will explore what it takes to move from ambition to execution, addressing critical questions around grid expansion, permitting, supply chains, financing and risk allocation. Roland Berger Senior Partner Yvonne Ruf will bring the firm’s perspective on how the energy transition can be delivered in practice, alongside decision-makers from across the energy ecosystem. Beyond the session, Roland Berger will use COP31 to engage with clients and key stakeholders on the ground and contribute further perspectives on electrification, power grids and the implementation of the energy transition.
