About us

2025 is a crucial moment for ContourGobal and the clean energy transition, as we hit the halfway mark in what has been labeled as the “decade of action”. We’re also five years away from many of the world’s 2030 decarbonization goals that were set.

We’ve made progress such that there is growing awareness of the impacts of man-made climate change, a dynamic surge in clean technology investments, and an increasing demand for renewable power to gradually replace traditional fossil-fuel generated electricity. At the same time, the energy sector is witnessing unprecedented challenges associated with global trends, such as Artificial Intelligence-driven demand for high energy consuming data centers, and the rising importance of energy security and personalized power solutions. It’s against this backdrop that ContourGlobal prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025, embracing a new strategic direction for the business.

Our Strategy Towards 2030

“Greening” the power sector is a fundamental task for the world to achieve its climate-change emissions goals. But the pace of new renewables development and low-emissions’ fuels must not only compensate the phase-out of polluting electricity generation assets, but must also meet the electricity demand growth which significantly exceeds historical levels. That’s why our strategy is based on four pillars that will allow us to deliver a new ContourGlobal by 2030: decarbonization, optimizing the performance of existing assets, growth through development and strategic partnerships, and portfolio innovation in emerging technologies like biomethane and green hydrogen.

 

 

 

 

1. Decarbonization: Our decarbonization strategy includes a strong commitment to cease coal usage by 2025, a sustainable transition of thermal assets to low-emissions and more efficient technologies, and selective M&A opportunities in dispatchable natural gas capacity.

 

2. Performance of Existing Assets: We will focus on achieving world-class operational efficiency through a new global operations organization that will pursue performance improvement opportunities, as well as valuable repowering and revamping projects within the portfolio. In addition, we will maximize value creation from existing assets through better commercial and energy management capabilities, focused on maintaining stable energy supply while aiming to build strong customer relationships and deliver innovative PPA solutions.

 

3. Growth:  In addition to reinforcing our in-house growth functions such as M&A, Business Development, Engineering and Construction, and Sustainability, we will pursue development partnerships in established technologies like solar, storage and batteries, and onshore wind.

 

4. Portfolio Innovation: We will exploit opportunities to capture value from key future technologies with strong growth potential, such as biomethane and green hydrogen. Our approach aims at innovative, risk-mitigated approaches to capture value by combining stable cash flows and optimal cost of capital management.
 

 

 

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF GROWTH

  • Adding 4.5 to 5 GW of installed capacity, mostly renewable and a minor component of dispatchable, low-emissions natural gas

  • A greater focus on development in OECD countries with strong growth in the US, Europe and Latin America

  • Leveraging new energy management and trading capabilities to extract more value from existing assets and developing innovative commercial solutions for new assets

  • Capturing opportunities in key future markets such as biomethane or green hydrogen to support the advanced decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors
