EPC Firms: Seizing Opportunities in the Energy Transition

The global surge in energy demand—fueled by AI, data centers, electrification, and reindustrialization—is creating unprecedented opportunities for EPC firms in the energy transition. Here’s how the industry is stepping up:

Boom in Renewable Energy Projects: With 90%+ of new global energy capacity in 2024 being clean (585 GW, mostly solar), EPC firms are leading the charge in building solar farms, wind turbines, and battery storage systems. U.S. policies like the IRA and IIJA are pouring $1.2T into infrastructure and $660B in clean energy incentives, driving demand for innovative EPC solutions.

Data Centers & Industrial Growth: The AI revolution is sparking a data center construction boom, with each facility creating ~1,700 jobs over 18–24 months. EPC firms are also powering new manufacturing hubs, like EV gigafactories and semiconductor plants, with precision engineering.

Nuclear & Emerging Tech: Small modular reactors (SMRs) and green hydrogen are opening new frontiers. EPC firms are investing in capabilities to build next-gen nuclear and storage solutions, positioning themselves for long-term growth in a decarbonizing world.

Grid & Urban Infrastructure: Rapid urbanization and smart city projects are driving EPC contracts for grid upgrades and transmission lines. The U.S. EPC market, valued at $304B in 2025, is projected to hit $406.8B by 2035 (3.3% CAGR), fueled by renewable integration and grid resilience. EPC firms are at the forefront of building a sustainable future, leveraging digital tools like BIM and modular construction to deliver projects faster and greener.

By aligning marketing strategies with these opportunities, EPC firms can enhance their visibility, attract clients, and position themselves as leaders in a rapidly evolving industry. Are you ready to seize these opportunities?
