    Creating a new energy future – a bold vision ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Our vision Creating a new energy future – a bold vision isn’t linear. In pursuing our vision over the past few years, we’ve had to be flexible and adaptable. We haven’t been afraid to challenge the status quo. As leaders of the transformation of the energy sector, we know the ‘same old’ just won’t cut it. We have the confidence to forge new solutions and for our people to work differently, to think differently. We have collaborated with global technology companies and thought leaders who share our view that innovation and digitalisation are key to meeting the future needs of energy systems and fast-evolving customer demands.
