Bloomberg New Economy
Energy Technology Coalition

Our mission

The Bloomberg New Economy Energy Technology Coalition galvanizes global decision makers and experts across industries to accelerate the adoption of technologies that make energy consumption more efficient, resilient, and responsive amid soaring global electricity demand. While the required transformation poses a significant global challenge, it also presents one of the biggest economic opportunities of our generation. As such, this invitation-only working group aims to help companies, cities, and countries navigate this moment by focusing on where and why deployment of demand-side technologies is stuck, what’s working quietly, and what levers are being overlooked.

Bloomberg is proud to launch this initiative with Schneider Electric as Co-Chair.

The Challenge

The Energy Crunch and the Smarter Way Through

An electrification supercycle is driving a 75% increase in global electricity demand that will require the world to rethink how we use energy, not just how we generate it.

Coalition Voices

Our members share their perspectives on the importance of the Coalition in overcoming barriers to adoption of demand side technologies to meet global energy needs.

Schneider Electric CEO, Olivier Blum, maintains that the AI ecosystem is circular – to power AI you need more compute and more energy; energy intelligence is the key to unlocking more energy.

Frédéric Godemel, EVP of Energy Management at Schneider Electric, sees the Energy Technology Coalition accelerating the understanding of how demand-side solutions can help fulfil global energy needs.

Test & Tell

Running your home AC for 8 hours uses about the same amount of electricity as charging how many smartphones?

A) 50
B) 500
C) 5,000
D) 50,000

When you think about the future of energy, which matters most to you?

A) Affordable power bills
B) Reliable power everywhere all the time
C) Using cleaner sources
D) Having enough power for AI

An electrification supercycle is driving a 75% increase in global electricity demand that will require the world to rethink how we use energy, not just how we generate it.

Thought Leadership

Our goal is to make early diagnosis and high-quality treatment accessible globally, ensuring no patient is left behind. That’s why we’ve established regional taskforces:

Africa: Exploring partnerships in the continent
Latin America: Starting with Brazil
North America & Europe: Starting with Rural America
Asia-Pacific: Expanding our work in China and Australia

Designed to tackle context-specific challenges and accelerate pilot projects, they bridge our Coalition’s expertise with effective implementation and aim to scale successful models from centers of excellence.
