ABOUT
About us
We’re passionate about ensuring all individuals in our communities have an equal opportunity to access secure, affordable and sustainable infrastructure required to meet their basic needs such as energy, clean drinking water, housing, schools, hospitals, sanitation and transport. Achieving the right balance between Security, Sustainability and Affordability of this vital infrastructure requires coordination and action from governments, civil society, investors and businesses to tackle this Infrastructure Trilemma.
Urbanisation, population growth and economic expansion are making the need for new and updated infrastructure even more urgent. As a result, the total global requirement for infrastructure investment is estimated at around US$5 trillion annually, with the greatest demands being in emerging markets. This is a generational, humanitarian, and economic challenge.
Equity Energy is a commercial consultancy created to support governments, investors and businesses structure, evaluate funding and financing options, joint-ventures and investment for projects to address the Infrastructure Trilemma. Our 30+ years of commercial expertise spans across multiple types of infrastructure and geographies.
Together, let’s make all types of infrastructure secure, affordable, sustainable and equitable.

We’re passionate about ensuring all individuals in our communities have an equal opportunity to access secure, affordable and sustainable energy required to meet their needs. Achieving the right balance between Security, Sustainability and Affordability requires coordination and action from producers, suppliers, governments, civil society, investors and business to tackle the Energy Trilemma.
To keep up with global energy demand and deliver net zero goals, the expected investment in energy infrastructure is estimated to be nearly US$50 trillion between now and 2050.
This is particularly important in the context of decarbonisation. Making sure that new, low carbon technologies have the widest possible benefit to all individuals and the planet. Therefore, decarbonisation should be embraced, as new technologies will drive down costs and provide security of supply and help grow economies.
