How much difference does a decade make? For renewables, it has been game changing. 10 years ago, electricity from renewables such as wind and solar wasn’t as competitive as fossil fuels. “Now they can be equally as competitive, if not more so.” The diversification of the UK’s electricity system has also led to more locally embedded generation that is less commoditised, offering higher potential returns for investors. Tim Short, Infrastructure Partner at 3i, tells Raconteur | B Corp™ how the evolving energy landscape is shaping investment opportunities. Read more in the article below.

This week we hosted our bi-annual CEO & Chair Forum in London led by Peter Wirtz and Scott Moseley. We were delighted to welcome 45 of our CEOs and Chairs from across our private equity and infrastructure portfolio. The event began with a dinner providing a great opportunity for both newcomers and returning attendees to network and reconnect. Our core theme was the growth agenda. Throughout the day we were excited to hear from various speakers including Sonali Punhani - Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Greg Nieuwenhuys and Wouter van Haaften - Generative AI Strategy and Simon Bucknall - The Art Of Connection. Topics ranged from the global macro-economic climate and current geopolitical uncertainties, to delivering growth through buy-and-build and the latest advancements in Generative AI. We explored practical ways to leverage these technologies in our portfolio, before finishing the day with a session discussing the art of strong messaging. Thanks to everyone involved for an inspiring and engaging event.
