What’s new: In this Industry Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon’s power and energy leaders discuss why access to reliable power is becoming a defining factor in growth, investment and business strategy. As AI, digital infrastructure, electrification and manufacturing expansion accelerate demand, organizations must think beyond energy consumption and consider how power availability, infrastructure readiness and capital deployment will influence future opportunities.

The conversation explores how leaders can make more informed decisions by evaluating interconnected risks earlier, strengthening confidence among investors and insurers, and aligning digital infrastructure investments with long-term business objectives. It also examines how data-driven insight, climate analytics and a diversified energy strategy can help organizations unlock growth, secure financing and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving environment.

Key Takeaways:              

  1. Reliable power is now essential to growth. Before deploying capital, leaders need to assess whether infrastructure can support their ambitions.
  2. The best decisions happen earlier in the project life cycle. Climate, regulatory, supply-chain and resource risks can influence performance, insurability and investment outcomes.
  1. Insight and capital will shape the next generation of infrastructure. Advanced risk analytics can help organizations identify opportunities, build investor confidence and improve access to financing.
