Investing in energy

The energy transition towards a greener, cleaner and smarter future is changing the game for energy investment. There are new players, new opportunities but also new risks. For example, cost reductions in renewables are leading to the fading out of subsidies for these sources and falling revenues for all types of generation. As a result, investors face much greater merchant risk. Understanding this new landscape is essential for making financing decisions that will bring a return on your investment.
