IC Enterra CEO Cem Aşık: In energy investments, it will no longer be only installed capacity but the value created that will be decisive

IC Enterra CEO Cem Aşık said at the Global Energy Investment Forum held during the COP31 climate conference that installed capacity alone will no longer determine the value of energy investments, with value creation becoming the key criterion. He pointed to COP31's "35x35" target, which aims to raise electricity's share of global final energy consumption to 35% by 2035, and said rising power demand is opening a new era for energy investment. The remarks signal a shift in how the sector will be judged as electrification accelerates. What to watch next is how companies and investors adapt project evaluation and capital allocation to the 35x35 goal.
