Energy Infrastructure
Renewable Energy Infrastructure is an increasingly important area driven by climate policy and energy demand, potentially creating exciting investment opportunities which could deliver attractive risk adjusted returns.
The European Commission’s 20-20-20 target – to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, increase the share of renewables in the energy mix and cut energy waste, all by 20% by 2020 – highlights the need for governments and businesses to prioritise the construction of renewable infrastructure projects.
Renewable energy investment is increasing dramatically already. There is a realisation among European countries of the urgent need for considerable, sustained investment in power infrastructure in order to meet carbon reduction commitments and safeguard future energy supplies.
Policy initiatives such as the European Emissions Trading Scheme, renewables obligation, feed-in-tariffs and green stimulus packages have increased investor appetite and demand for renewable energy infrastructure and may increase the value of renewable energy assets.
Through the company’s asset management and advisory business, Climate Change Capital has extensive experience of working with utilities and developers in the industry to understand the policy drivers that underpin renewable energy infrastructure investments.
The transition to the low carbon economy - through the development of renewable energy infrastructure such as offshore/onshore wind and solar - is an environmental imperative, and to CCC, an economic opportunity, Creating Wealth Worth Having®.
