The findings, collected during the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, show a decisive move toward renewable-based electricity. Nearly 80% of respondents report that ongoing geopolitical tensions have accelerated their internal timelines for electrification, with 90% of surveyed firms expecting full operational conversion by 2035. Beyond risk mitigation, the shift is driven by a belief in economic vitality: 90% of leaders anticipate that a localized, renewable-based grid will stimulate growth, while 88% view electrification as a primary driver of competitive advantage.

Despite this corporate consensus, a significant disconnect persists between private sector urgency and public policy. While 72% of executives report that government frameworks are failing to keep pace with the necessary infrastructure upgrades, the threat of economic migration is becoming real. Roughly 62% of those surveyed stated they would consider relocating operations to jurisdictions with more robust support for clean energy systems. This pressure, highlighted by groups including E3G and the Global Renewables Alliance, places the burden squarely on G7 leaders to modernize power grids or risk losing their standing in an increasingly electrified global market.
