As the CERAWeek conference continues in Houston, Bain & Co. Partner and Energy Policy Expert Cate Hight joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the challenges companies may face in investing in energy initiatives.
Hight acknowledges that the industry is currently “in the middle of companies trying to sort out” investing strategies. While companies are willing to invest in new energy technologies, she notes that the pace at which they do so remains uncertain.
One significant factor impacting investment decisions is the increased interest rate environment, which has affected the “ability to put capital to work” in the energy sector. However, Hight believes that this is a matter of timing rather than a question of whether investments will ultimately yield returns.
