Jeff Jorgensen, Managing Director, Director of Research and Portfolio Manager and Joseph Idaszak, Vice President, Senior Analyst at Brookfield’s Public Securities Group join Julie Cooling, Founder & CEO, RIA Channel to discuss the evolution in energy and how investors can capitalize on the global transition from traditional to renewable energy sources.
Jorgensen defines the “Energy transition” as a multi-faceted opportunity that focuses on the decarbonization of the entire energy industry, which includes power generation, transportation, and consumption. “Traditional energy, renewables and other industries all have role to play in reducing emissions in a reliable and cost effective way,” says Jorgensen.
This complex, multi-decade transition will have a widespread impact on many different regions, industries and companies and presents a compelling investment opportunity. Jorgensen and Idaszak explain that Brookfield’s pragmatic approach to effectively and profitably accomplishing this global objective of decarbonization, involves both traditional and renewable energy sources. While renewables offer a cheaper solution in many cases, Idaszak acknowledges that as renewable adoption continues to increase worldwide, there is a need for a greater reliability and a seamless continuity of clean energy and power.
