OVERVIEW
 The energy and power sector comprises a broad range of business activities in the supply chain for electricity and fuel. The energy and power industry is undergoing rapid change due to many economic, demographic, financial, political, regulatory, and other factors. We believe that this dynamic environment provides opportunities for investment firms with substantial industry expertise and the ability to deploy significant amounts of capital.
