The renewables industry is going through a period of unprecedented growth benefiting from ever increasing attention from governments, the public and investors. However, in order for this growth to continue there are a number of key challenges that need to be addressed by the industry to ensure that the ultimate Net Zero target is realistic. In addition there are a number of key enablers that must be encouraged to sustain the current momentum enjoyed by the sector.
Sean Maguire from Impax Asset Management and DLA Piper’s Natasha Luther-Jones discuss some key themes in this area including:
• What are the growth barriers that concern renewable project developers and investors the most?
• What must Governments and Regulators do to maximise the impact the renewables industry can have on the climate change issue?
• How big an impact can the corporate PPA world have on generation capacity deployed?
• The role of storage, charging and hydrogen in addressing the renewable intermittent generation challenge?
