Energy Transition Investment Conference 2025, London
Last week, Partners Jakub Lichnovsky and Martin Kříž, together with Associate Partner Robert Reiss, represented PRK Partners at the Energy Transition Investment Conference 2025, an event organised by the Energy Law Group and hosted by Slaughter and May in London.
The two-day program focused on the key topics of the global energy transition – from financing new projects and regulatory frameworks for transmission systems to the role of innovation and technology in industrial decarbonization. Participants from across Europe and beyond shared their experience with the real-world challenges of transforming energy and infrastructure.
A highlight of the conference was an inspiring talk by Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), who spoke about the growing need for AI-ready energy infrastructure, clear energy standards, more renewables, and stronger electric grids. He pointed out that without stable electricity, development cannot happen – especially when it comes to building infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Global data clearly show the trend: ten years ago, global energy investments were around USD 2 trillion, half in fossil fuels and half in renewables. In 2024, they reached USD 3 trillion, with two-thirds now going to renewables. The shift is clear and accelerating.
This event provided valuable insights and the opportunity to exchange views and share our own experience. It also reflects PRK Partners’ long-term work in the energy and infrastructure sectors, where we advise a wide range of clients – from investors and producers to developers – on financing, transactions, regulation and strategic project implementation.
