Torbjorn Caesar, Chairman and Senior Partner at Actis, commented:

“The need for electricity is massive. If you’re looking at the markets we are in, what we refer to as ‘most of the world’ across Latin America, Middle East, Eastern Europe or Asia, it’s not so much about energy transition, of course that is important, but it’s also energy addition, because the electricity demand is growing over time. It is growing with economic activity, growth with the demographics, in terms of the population growth, there’s a massive need for new electricity.”
