Global Energy Choice Partnership (GEC)
The proliferation of choices in the energy market and persisting uncertainty in energy and climate policy pose significant challenges for senior executives across all industries.
The early identification of emerging market, policy, and technological trends will be especially important to the largest global actors, be they suppliers, consumers, or financial players.
In the Global Energy Choice (GEC) Partnership, Garten Rothkopf brings together senior executives of non-competing leading global companies from four continents to anticipate and prepare for the challenges posed by the emergence of a new energy paradigm, by facilitating the confidential exchange of strategic insights and by providing comprehensive, inter-disciplinary analysis of the state of energy markets, policies, and technologies. Now in its third year, the GEC partnership has established itself as a proven resource unlike any other available to the world’s largest and most sophisticated organizations.
The GEC partners are a carefully chosen group of companies whose interests, resources and capabilities complement one another. Each partner is a household name whose decisions will play a central role in determining which technologies may be adopted, which investment areas will prosper, which challenges may be met first and which markets will thrive. Meeting at the highest strategic levels, Garten Rothkopf provides GEC partners with unique global trends research – meeting their specific needs – and analysis of how energy markets will be transformed by concerns about climate change, global instability, changing demand and prices for traditional energy sources, and technological breakthroughs. GEC partners also gain access to an unparalleled global expert network, representing the very best minds in the areas of energy choice, climate change, public policy, technology, finance and other related areas.
Future of Fuels
Together with the GEC partners, Garten Rothkopf has undertaken the most comprehensive scenario-based analysis of the future energy mix conducted to date.
