Energy infrastructure and services

We deliver large-scale energy projects with lasting impact

Delivering systems to power the energy transition

Energy infrastructure is central to the Middle East’s economic growth and energy transformation. The region is investing billions in power generation, transmission, and industrial assets in order to meet rising demand, strengthen resilience, and accelerate its shift toward lower-carbon energy.

Delivering this transformation is complex. National oil companies (NOCs), utilities, and ministries must prioritize capital portfolios, coordinate stakeholders, and ensure on-time delivery, while localizing supply chains, building talent pipelines, and expanding capabilities across emerging subsectors.

Stories from our clients

Reprioritizing capital projects for a GCC NOC

A GCC national oil company needed to reshape its capital projects portfolio in response to shifting market dynamics. Strategy& developed a tailored prioritization framework aligned with the client’s strategic objectives, incorporating project criticality, stage of development, project type, sector sensitivity, and evolving market outlook. This helped the client identify a focused, high-impact portfolio of capital projects that would support the company’s long-term growth ambitions and resilience.

Developing a growth strategy for an energy and utilities subsidiary

An energy and utilities company in the GCC sought to carve out its engineering and project management subsidiary as a stand-alone entity, and to accelerate its growth. Strategy& assessed the subsidiary’s current capabilities, market dynamics, and global benchmarks, and developed a comprehensive growth strategy. The work produced a three- and five-year road map with a go-to-market approach for domestic and adjacent markets. We also supported implementation, enabling organizational readiness and positioning the entity for sustainable future growth.
