In this episode of Without Boundaries, Jon Eggins sits down with David Foley, Senior Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Blackstone Energy Partners, to explore how private capital is helping meet one of the defining challenges of our time: rising energy demand.With three decades at Blackstone, David shares how private equity has evolved from generalist investing to deep sector specialization, and why maintaining a competitive edge is more important than ever in a crowded market.

The conversation also looks at the growing gap between electricity supply and demand, driven by data centers, reshoring of manufacturing and years of underinvestment in infrastructure. David explains how these dynamics are creating opportunities across the energy ecosystem, and how public-private partnerships are playing a critical role in delivering large-scale energy infrastructure.Topics include:• How private equity has evolved and why specialization is now essential• What is driving the renewed growth in electricity demand• Why underinvestment in the grid is creating structural opportunities• The role of private capital and public-private partnerships in building energy infrastructure• Real world examples of investing across the energy transition
