Electrification and renewables, in particular, show accelerated growth, with electric power and hydrogen expected to represent 32 percent of the global energy mix by 2035 and 50 percent by 2050 (Exhibit 1). It’s hardly surprising that energy incumbents are entering this new energy space. The potential 2030 market opportunity in new energy businesses is estimated at $3 trillion, with top energy majors expected to make an average investment of $35 billion between 2022 and 2030.<span class="FootNote_footnote-holder__tjRqy"><a aria-label="footnote" href="javascript:void(0);" class="FootNote_footnote-wrapper__AIRwL undefined FootNote_inactive__VZfCp" aria-describedby="d32efc26-7879-466f-8af2-6129e1fe5f22"><sup class="FootNote_footnotesup__e73z_">1</sup><span class="FootNote_notch-wrapper__b_5NS"><span class="FootNote_notch__omKtY"></span></span><span class="FootNote_tooltip__QtrbA mdc-u-mt-2"><span class="FootNote_footnote-content__r2OVl"><span id="d32efc26-7879-466f-8af2-6129e1fe5f22" aria-hidden="true" data-module-theme="light" class="FootNote_footnote-text__VjKgO mck-u-links-inline">McKinsey analysis.</span></span></span></a></span></p> <div data-component="mdc-c-module-wrapper" data-module-theme="default" data-module-background="transparent" data-module-category="" class="mck-c-inline-module-container mck-o-md-center"><div class="mdc-u-grid mdc-u-grid-gutter-lg mdc-u-grid-col-sm-1 mdc-u-grid--align-start mdc-u-mb-3 GenericItem_mck-c-generic-item__sGwKL"><div data-component="mdc-c-content-block" class="mdc-c-content-block___7p6Lu_2734c4f mdc-u-grid-gutter-xs GenericItem_mck-c-generic-item__content__gq1m0"><div class="mck-c-eyebrow mdc-u-ts-10"><span> 1</span></div></div></div><div class="mck-u-inline-module-border-top mck-u-inline-module-border-bottom"><picture data-component="mdc-c-picture" class="Exhibit_mck-c-exhibit__image__pyIDm"><source media="(min-width: 768px)" srcSet="/~/media/mckinsey/industries/oil%20and%20gas/our%20insights/new%20energy%20businesses%20the%20independence%20versus%20integration%20dilemma/svgz-green-energy-business-ex1-v4.svgz?cq=50&cpy=Center"/><img alt="The share of electricity in energy composition will continue to grow." src="/~/media/mckinsey/industries/oil%20and%20gas/our%20insights/new%20energy%20businesses%20the%20independence%20versus%20integration%20dilemma/svgz-green-energy-business-ex1-v4.svgz?cq=50&cpy=Center" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="mck-u-sr-only"></div></div> <div data-component="mdc-c-module-wrapper" data-module-theme="light" data-module-background="lightest-grey" data-module-category="" data-module-gradient-position="bottom-right" class="mck-c-inline-module-container SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__bgimg-wrapper__Qj4Dt mck-o-sm-left-span SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__sidebar-wrapper__Dpjw2 SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__sidebar-wrapper--istablet__IQ6ii mck-u-screen-only mck-c-module-wrapper" data-layer-region="sidebar"><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__epoAm mck-o-md-center"><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__share-icons-wrapper__9gB_c"><div data-component="mdc-c-link-container" class="mdc-c-link-container___xefGu_2734c4f mdc-c-link-container--display-column___X0HDD_2734c4f SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__share-icons___eQy6"><button data-component="mdc-c-button" aria-label="Expandable Sidebar" type="button" id="button_id" class="mdc-c-button___U4iY2_2734c4f mdc-c-button--ghost mdc-c-button--size-medium SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__toggle-btn__EL8iE" aria-expanded="false" data-layer-event-prefix="UI Item" data-layer-action="click" data-layer-category="sidebar" data-layer-subcategory="open" data-layer-text="open sidebar"><span data-component="mdc-c-icon" class="mdc-c-icon___oi7ef_2734c4f mdc-c-icon--radial___y3csX_2734c4f mdc-c-icon--size-xxl___cL3ZT_2734c4f mck-plus-no-circle-icon"></span></button></div></div><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content-outer__UdWCq"><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__eyebrow__5GSEq"></div><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content__raEwe"><h2 data-component="mdc-c-heading" class="mdc-c-heading___0fM1W_2734c4f mdc-u-ts-3 SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content-heading__NJekY"><div>About the authors</div></h2><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content-description__4p9iI mdc-u-ts-7"><div class="mdc-o-content-body"><p>This article is a collaborative effort by <a href="/our-people/esmee-bergman">Esmee Bergman</a>, Ignacio Fantaguzzi, <a href="/our-people/christopher-handscomb">Christopher Handscomb</a>, Jesper Ludolph, and Phil Quadri representing views from McKinsey’s Global Energy & Materials Practice.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div> <p>As many energy majors embark on their own new energy business ventures, an important question on their minds is whether they can strike the right balance between dependence and independence, harnessing the advantages of being an incumbent while enabling the agility of a start-up.</p> <p>With new energy businesses in their early days, there are no definitive answers to this question of independence or integration; different types of new businesses are seeing initial success with different operating models. However, there are key choices and considerations that can help incumbents avoid the most common pitfalls of business building. This article explores the different operating models chosen for new energy ventures by companies with an established incumbent business (for example, oil and gas and utilities).</p> <h2>Why the right choice matters</h2> <p>Leaders can underestimate the difficulty of starting a new venture within the boundaries of existing processes, systems, culture, and behaviors. New businesses often fail to scale. Only 16 percent of executives in Fortune 100 companies report that their corporate business builds have achieved blockbuster success after four years.<span class="FootNote_footnote-holder__tjRqy"><a aria-label="footnote" href="javascript:void(0);" class="FootNote_footnote-wrapper__AIRwL undefined FootNote_inactive__VZfCp" aria-describedby="d4208d0e-e822-444d-a1f6-fed01a132823"><sup class="FootNote_footnotesup__e73z_">2</sup><span class="FootNote_notch-wrapper__b_5NS"><span class="FootNote_notch__omKtY"></span></span><span class="FootNote_tooltip__QtrbA mdc-u-mt-2"><span class="FootNote_footnote-content__r2OVl"><span id="d4208d0e-e822-444d-a1f6-fed01a132823" aria-hidden="true" data-module-theme="light" class="FootNote_footnote-text__VjKgO mck-u-links-inline">Matt Banholzer, Markus Berger-de León, Subu Narayanan, and Mark Patel, “<a href="/industries/industrials-and-electronics/our-insights/how-industrial-incumbents-can-create-new-businesses">How industrial incumbents can create new businesses</a>,” McKinsey, November 13, 2019.</span></span></span></a></span> The remainder were partially successful at best.</p> <p>Disruption was once considered the domain of start-ups.

Incumbents are rightly asking how to strike the right balance between dependence and independence when it comes to their new energy business.</p> <p>The pressure to make the right choice is enormous, given its impact on operational performance. Clear prioritization and end-to-end accountability for business units and teams, for example, can drive an uplift of more than 30 percent in operational performance. Ensuring purpose and the ability to operate autonomously to get things done can increase employee engagement by 30 percentage points. And creating teams of doers and removing red tape can turn plans into action five to ten times faster than if the incorrect operating model has been chosen.<span class="FootNote_footnote-holder__tjRqy"><a aria-label="footnote" href="javascript:void(0);" class="FootNote_footnote-wrapper__AIRwL undefined FootNote_inactive__VZfCp" aria-describedby="959efb53-dae3-4d19-a72d-c57d8b7f5fe0"><sup class="FootNote_footnotesup__e73z_">3</sup><span class="FootNote_notch-wrapper__b_5NS"><span class="FootNote_notch__omKtY"></span></span><span class="FootNote_tooltip__QtrbA mdc-u-mt-2"><span class="FootNote_footnote-content__r2OVl"><span id="959efb53-dae3-4d19-a72d-c57d8b7f5fe0" aria-hidden="true" data-module-theme="light" class="FootNote_footnote-text__VjKgO mck-u-links-inline">Wouter Aghina, Christpher Handscomb, Olli Salo, and Shail Thaker, “<a href="/capabilities/people-and-organizational-performance/our-insights/the-impact-of-agility-how-to-shape-your-organization-to-compete">The impact of agility: How to shape your organization to compete</a>,” McKinsey, May 25, 2021.</span></span></span></a></span></p> <h2>Weighing the options</h2> <p>Corporate structures for new energy businesses range from full business separation to full integration within the core business, each with its own benefits and risks.</p> <h3>Full separation</h3> <div data-component="mdc-c-module-wrapper" data-module-theme="light" data-module-background="lightest-grey" data-module-category="" data-module-gradient-position="bottom-right" class="mck-c-inline-module-container SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__bgimg-wrapper__Qj4Dt mck-o-sm-left-span SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__sidebar-wrapper__Dpjw2 SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__sidebar-wrapper--istablet__IQ6ii mck-u-screen-only mck-c-module-wrapper" data-layer-region="sidebar"><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__epoAm mck-o-md-center"><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__share-icons-wrapper__9gB_c"><div data-component="mdc-c-link-container" class="mdc-c-link-container___xefGu_2734c4f mdc-c-link-container--display-column___X0HDD_2734c4f SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__share-icons___eQy6"><div data-component="mdc-c-dropdown-menu" class="mdc-c-drop-down"><button data-component="mdc-c-button" aria-label="" type="button" id="button_id" class="mdc-c-button___U4iY2_2734c4f mdc-c-button--ghost mdc-c-button--size-medium mdc-c-drop-down__rootmenu___yJzvz_2734c4f" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu"><span data-component="mdc-c-icon" class="mdc-c-icon___oi7ef_2734c4f mdc-c-icon--default___f-hQM_2734c4f mdc-c-icon--size-md___yi5fA_2734c4f mck-share2-icon"></span></button><div data-component="mdc-c-module-wrapper" data-module-theme="light" data-module-background="white" data-module-category="" class=""></div></div><button data-component="mdc-c-button" aria-label="Expandable Sidebar" type="button" id="button_id" class="mdc-c-button___U4iY2_2734c4f mdc-c-button--ghost mdc-c-button--size-medium SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__toggle-btn__EL8iE" aria-expanded="false" data-layer-event-prefix="UI Item" data-layer-action="click" data-layer-category="sidebar" data-layer-subcategory="open" data-layer-text="open sidebar"><span data-component="mdc-c-icon" class="mdc-c-icon___oi7ef_2734c4f mdc-c-icon--radial___y3csX_2734c4f mdc-c-icon--size-xxl___cL3ZT_2734c4f mck-plus-no-circle-icon"></span></button></div></div><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content-outer__UdWCq"><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__eyebrow__5GSEq"></div><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content__raEwe"><h2 data-component="mdc-c-heading" class="mdc-c-heading___0fM1W_2734c4f mdc-u-ts-3 SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content-heading__NJekY"><div>Case study: Eni creates an independent renewables business—Plenitude</div></h2><div class="SideBar_mck-c-sidebar__content-description__4p9iI mdc-u-ts-7"><div class="mdc-o-content-body"><p>In 2023, Eni, a leading energy company, decided to fully carve out their renewables business in order to diversify their portfolio and accelerate their growth.

In 2006, EDP created a dedicated division focused on renewable energy, which laid the foundation for what would become EDPR. This division was tasked with developing, building, and operating renewable energy projects, with a particular emphasis on wind power.</p> <p>Over the years, EDPR experienced significant growth and in 2008, EDPR completed its initial public offering (IPO), becoming a publicly traded company.<span class="FootNote_footnote-holder__tjRqy"><a aria-label="footnote" href="javascript:void(0);" class="FootNote_footnote-wrapper__AIRwL undefined FootNote_inactive__VZfCp" aria-describedby="6781cfae-426e-494e-82eb-5dfbe8d6dc0b"><sup class="FootNote_footnotesup__e73z_">1</sup><span class="FootNote_notch-wrapper__b_5NS"><span class="FootNote_notch__omKtY"></span></span><span class="FootNote_tooltip__QtrbA mdc-u-mt-2"><span class="FootNote_footnote-content__r2OVl"><span id="6781cfae-426e-494e-82eb-5dfbe8d6dc0b" aria-hidden="true" data-module-theme="light" class="FootNote_footnote-text__VjKgO mck-u-links-inline">Alex Bugge, “EDP raises $2,4 bln in renewables unit IPO,” Reuters, June 2, 2008; “EDP Renováveis announces launch of its IPO at a price range of €7.40 to €8.90 per share,” EDP, May 15, 2008.</span></span></span></a></span> This move allowed it to access additional capital for its renewable energy projects and signaled its commitment to further growth and expansion.

Electrification and renewables, in particular, show accelerated growth, with electric power and hydrogen expected to represent 32 percent of the global energy mix by 2035 and 50 percent by 2050 (Exhibit 1). It\u0026rsquo;s hardly surprising that energy incumbents are entering this new energy space. The potential 2030 market opportunity in new energy businesses is estimated at $3 trillion, with top energy majors expected to make an average investment of $35 billion between 2022 and 2030.[[footnote 1]]\u003c/p\u003e\n\n[[Exhibit 1]]\n\n[[sidebar authors]]\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs many energy majors embark on their own new energy business ventures, an important question on their minds is whether they can strike the right balance between dependence and independence, harnessing the advantages of being an incumbent while enabling the agility of a start-up.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith new energy businesses in their early days, there are no definitive answers to this question of independence or integration; different types of new businesses are seeing initial success with different operating models. However, there are key choices and considerations that can help incumbents avoid the most common pitfalls of business building. This article explores the different operating models chosen for new energy ventures by companies with an established incumbent business (for example, oil and gas and utilities).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the right choice matters\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeaders can underestimate the difficulty of starting a new venture within the boundaries of existing processes, systems, culture, and behaviors. New businesses often fail to scale. Only 16 percent of executives in Fortune 100 companies report that their corporate business builds have achieved blockbuster success after four years.[[footnote 2]] The remainder were partially successful at best.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDisruption was once considered the domain of start-ups. Today, however, incumbents are actively using this strategy themselves to disrupt the industry. Incumbents are rightly asking how to strike the right balance between dependence and independence when it comes to their new energy business.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pressure to make the right choice is enormous, given its impact on operational performance. Clear prioritization and end-to-end accountability for business units and teams, for example, can drive an uplift of more than 30 percent in operational performance. Ensuring purpose and the ability to operate autonomously to get things done can increase employee engagement by 30 percentage points. And creating teams of doers and removing red tape can turn plans into action five to ten times faster than if the incorrect operating model has been chosen.[[footnote 3]]\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWeighing the options\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCorporate structures for new energy businesses range from full business separation to full integration within the core business, each with its own benefits and risks.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull separation\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n[[sidebar 1]]\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn separation model, the new business can be set up as a separate entity (such as a subsidiary). As a subsidiary, the new business has its own legal and financial structure, leadership team, processes, and people model. In many cases, it is largely funded by the parent company but often attracts additional external funding and partners (see sidebar \u0026ldquo;Case study: Eni creates an independent renewables business\u0026mdash;Plenitude for an example of this approach).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n[[sidebar 2]]\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn alternative approach is to form a partnership with an existing renewables venture. The incumbent often provides the brand, access to customers, capital, and seconds specific key capabilities into the venture while the renewables venture provides the lean governance, processes, and culture required to grow at pace (see sidebar \u0026ldquo;BP partnered up with a renewables venture\u0026rdquo; for the story of how BP formed a joint venture to accelerate their solar business).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegration into the existing structure\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n[[sidebar 3]]\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany incumbents choose to set up a new energy business within their existing structure, with varying degrees of independence. The level of independence may vary over time, driven by the maturity of the business, the type of technology, and perceived synergies with the core business (see sidebar \u0026ldquo;EDP Renewables goes through a journey with varying levels of integration over time\u0026rdquo; to read the story of how EDP evolved the level of integration of their renewables business over time).

Leaders could consider their EVP right from the start by designing an action plan that gives them a talent advantage.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the leadership front, leaders need to operate with substantially greater speed and entrepreneurialism when entering the new energy sector. They may need to develop innovative ways of collaborating, both within their organizations and in the emerging energy ecosystems. A major challenge is attracting and retaining talent in an environment where traditional energy companies are under intense negative public pressure. These leadership challenges will be more keenly felt in the more integrated operating model, where leaders have to be the bridge between the old and new worlds.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew energy businesses have the potential to thrive, and many incumbents are eager to enter this high-growth space. The operating model that energy players choose can directly impact the success of their new business, and incumbents need to decide what strategy would best suit their business needs. This decision is only the beginning, but it can pave the way for future success.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n[[ceros switcher]]"},"isFullScreenInteractive":{"boolValue":false},"hideStickySocialShareBar":{"boolValue":false},"desktopID":{"value":""},"mobileID":{"value":""},"desktopURL":{"value":""},"mobileURL":{"value":""},"desktopPaddingPercentage":{"value":""},"mobilePaddingPercentage":{"value":""},"desktopOverrideHeight":{"value":""},"mobileOverrideHeight":{"value":""},"cerosOembedURL":{"value":""},"cerosRenderMode":{"targetItem":null},"cerosBackgroundColor":{"targetItem":null},"hideByLine":{"boolValue":true},"tableOfContentsTitle":{"value":"TABLE OF CONTENTS"},"accessStatus":{"targetItem":{"key":{"value":"RegisteredUsers"},"value":{"value":"Registered Users"}}},"articleType":{"targetItem":{"displayName":"Article"}},"hasSpecialReport":{"boolValue":false},"contentType":{"targetItem":{"displayName":"Article"}},"sourcePublication":{"targetItem":null},"externalPublication":{"value":""},"mobileReady":{"boolValue":true},"forClientsOnly":{"boolValue":false},"excludeFromClientLink":{"boolValue":false},"originalPublishDate":{"jsonValue":{"value":"2024-02-01T00:00:00Z"}},"footnotes":{"value":"\u003col\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMcKinsey analysis.\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMatt Banholzer, Markus Berger-de Le\u0026oacute;n, Subu Narayanan, and Mark Patel, \u0026ldquo;\u003ca href=\"/industries/industrials-and-electronics/our-insights/how-industrial-incumbents-can-create-new-businesses\"\u003eHow industrial incumbents can create new businesses\u003c/a\u003e,\u0026rdquo; McKinsey, November 13, 2019.\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWouter Aghina, Christpher Handscomb, Olli Salo, and Shail Thaker, \u0026ldquo;\u003ca href=\"/capabilities/people-and-organizational-performance/our-insights/the-impact-of-agility-how-to-shape-your-organization-to-compete\"\u003eThe impact of agility: How to shape your organization to compete\u003c/a\u003e,\u0026rdquo; McKinsey, May 25, 2021.\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/2021-global-report-the-state-of-new-business-building\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e2021 Global report: The state of new-business building\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/em\u003e, McKinsey, December 6, 2021.\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/2021-global-report-the-state-of-new-business-building\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e2021 Global report: The state of new-business building\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/a\u003e, McKinsey, December 6, 2021.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e"},"contributoryPractice":{"targetItems":[{"displayName":"Oil \u0026 Gas"}]},"aboutTheAuthors":{"value":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"/our-people/esmee-bergman\"\u003eEsmee Bergman\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e is an associate partner in McKinsey\u0026rsquo;s Oslo office; \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"/our-people/ignacio-fantaguzzi\"\u003eIgnacio Fantaguzzi\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e is a partner in the Houston office; \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"/our-people/christopher-handscomb\"\u003eChristopher Handscomb\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e is a partner in the London office, where \u003cstrong\u003ePhil Quadri\u003c/strong\u003e is an associate partner; and \u003cstrong\u003eJesper Ludolph\u003c/strong\u003e is a partner in the Bengaluru office.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors wish to thank Andre Anacleto, Oriane Chamoun, Sherlyn Chen, Tom Coxon, Lena Lindvall, Hege Nordahl, Des Paschou, and Christian Repole for their contributions to this article.\u003c/p\u003e"},"authors":{"targetItems":[{"template":{"id":"3FBABDB63A094F68B1F8E1BBE1BA124E","name":"Author"},"id":"B20C9A24D9A24E13A94A730162C9296D","name":"Esmee Bergman","authorTitle":{"value":"Esmee Bergman"},"description":{"value":""},"thumbnailImage":{"alt":"","src":null},"profile":{"targetItems":[{"standardImage":{"src":"/~/media/mckinsey/our people/esmee bergman/esmee-bergman_2_profile_1536x1152.jpg","alt":" Esmee Bergman"},"emailLinks":{"value":"Esmee_Bergman@mckinsey.com"},"linkedInUrl":{"value":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeebergman/"},"description":{"value":"Collaborates with heavy industry and global energy clients to enhance performance and resilience during the energy transition.
