Power that Performs
Despite its undeniable importance to the world, energy infrastructure can be an overlooked sector – though we believe this is poised to change soon … Global energy demand is forecast to see significant above-trend growth that will extend into the coming decades (view slide). We believe Midstream energy companies are well positioned to capitalize on that increased demand and support both traditional and transitional energy infrastructure.
