Global growth will increasingly hinge on the integration of digital expansion and energy system transformation, requiring clear governance, smart financing, and enhanced human capabilities. Aligning digital and energy planning can reduce bottlenecks, lower costs, and improve productivity as AI integrates into operations. About $30 trillion is estimated to be needed for infrastructure by 2050, with a focus on emerging markets. Successful initiatives in Türkiye, such as tailored power purchase agreements and joint site planning, highlight effective strategies for scaling renewable energy and digital infrastructure while fostering community engagement.
