State-Owned Enterprises and the Low-Carbon Transition

This paper explores the role of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the low-carbon transition in OECD and G20 countries.

A descriptive analysis of SOEs’ role in the electricity sector shows the continued importance of SOEs, including prominent investments in both renewables and fossil-fuel-based electricity generation..
