Alongside the investment trends report, our Deputy CEO, Albert Cheung, discusses the energy-transition to-do list that must be addressed in 2024.
India has set an ambitious renewable energy target of 450 GW by 2030. Meeting the target will require $600 billion in financing for new generation and grid infrastructure, including $200 billion for PV and wind capacity. Sector financing must scale rapidly to meet this target. Mobilizing needed capital will be difficult given the complex ...

As we explore in this report, risk and return are the cornerstones of investment beliefs. However, to mobilize listed equity investors toward the objective of decarbonization, strong performance may not be sufficient. Additional measures will be required to prepare the industry for full-fledged support from global capital markets. Published ...

The following seven investment ideas stand to benefit from the pending energy storage boom. There is no way to predict precisely how the landscape of utility and energy companies will evolve, but ...
For example, these studies show that addressing investment risk tends to be more effective in inducing investment than increasing returns (Lüthi, 2010) and that, besides risk, investors are also driven by portfolio effects, a priori beliefs and path dependence (; ).
Cumulative battery energy storage system (BESS) capital expenditure (CAPEX) for front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) commercial and industrial (C&I) in the United States and Canada will total more than USD 24 billion between 2021 and 2025. This explosive growth follows a doubling of CAPEX expenditure from 2019 to 2020, as almost ...
Energy storage is a rapidly growing segment of the clean energy sector, and prices are dropping fast. Yet many are still struggling to understand how to value energy storage as an investment. As a ...
To shed light on this debate, we investigate the historical risk and return proposition to investors in the energy sector. Our study examines the financial performance of listed companies engaged in fossil fuel supply as compared to those active in renewable power over the past 5 and 10 years.
The United States and global energy storage markets have experienced rapid growth that is expected to continue. An estimated 387 gigawatts (GW) (or 1,143 gigawatt hours (GWh)) of new energy storage capacity is expected to be added globally from 2022 to 2030, which would result in the size of global energy storage capacity …
The PTC is a per-kilowatt hour (kWh) tax credit for electricity generated by renewable energy and other qualifying technologies, paid over a 10-year period. The ITC is a tax credit that is based on a percentage of the project''s cost as a one-time credit in the year in which the project is placed in service. b.
New research considers the useful-stage energy return on investment and finds that wind and solar photovoltaics ... T. Modelling energy transition risk: the impact of declining energy return on ...
The cost of capital expresses the expected financial return, or the minimum required rate, for investing in a company or a project. This expected return is closely linked with the degree of risk associated with a company or project cash flows. Another way of referring to the cost of capital is to talk about "financing costs" or the ...
Global investment in energy transition technologies, including energy efficiency, reached a record high of USD 1.3 trillion in 2022. However, annual investments need to at least quadruple to remain on track to achieve the 1.5°C Scenario in IRENA''s World Energy Transitions Outlook 2023. Investment in renewable energy was also unprecedented ...
In addition, policy factor as a key characteristic of in energy storage technology investment, but the research on policy uncertainty''s impact on energy storage technology investment is lacking. Therefore, based on considering technological innovation and market uncertainties, it is more important to consider policy uncertainty.
TLDR. A model in order to evaluate the impact of power generation considering PV systems in Australia along with a model to simulate Battery Energy …
An overview of nine global energy transition scenarios The analysis is based on the scenarios aiming to reach a net-zero CO 2 power system. In terms of modelling methodology, the scenarios are ...
Improvements to transmission infrastructure and investment in energy storage are required to help maintain electricity grid stability and support a continued increase in renewable energy generation. AEMO''s draft 2020 Integrated System Plan identifies over 15 potential projects to strengthen the transmission grid, with eight of these …
Renewable energy investments with storage: a risk-return analysis Int. J. Energy Sect. Manag., 12 ( 2018 ), pp. 714 - 736, 10.1108/IJESM-02-2018-0009 View in Scopus Google Scholar
Quarterly investment commitments in new renewable energy projects reached a high of over 4500 MW in late 2018, but has since collapsed to less than 800MW in each of the first two quarters of 2019. There has been a rapid increase in the number of utility-scale batteries being committed across
Risk in Energy Investments It is necessary to discuss the risk in energy investments – mainly the discount rate of electricity utili-ties. Utilities, in many cases, are regulated monopolies, particularly in developing economies. They have well-defined markets and
We analyze risk-return characteristics of environmentally friendly investments. • There is considerable heterogeneity across the clean energy sub-sectors. • Energy management companies perform well during the pandemic. • Fuel cell (developer/operator) index has
These pressures result in higher investment risks and financing costs compared with other power generation and storage technologies, thereby discouraging investors. In emerging and developing economies, where the largest untapped potential for new hydropower lies, the attractiveness of hydropower investments is impacted by economic risks, concerns …
Framework to price integrate climate-related risks. This section presents a framework that prices the climate resilience of an energy infrastructure project through a lens of the value of its debt and equity investments. The framework is based on a financial model designed to assess whether a project generates a sufficient and stable cash flow ...
As the energy crisis continues and the world transitions to a carbon-neutral future, battery energy storage systems (BESS) will play an increasingly important role. BESS can optimise wind & solar generation, whilst enhancing the grid''s capacity to deal with surges in energy demand. BESS are able to store excess energy in periods of low …
5 · Challenges to financing the growth of battery energy storage. Presently, the adoption of BESS is low, and the growth of adoption is less than desired. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), global BESS capacity was 85 GW at the end of 2023 and needs to reach 1200 GW by 2030to enable seamless grid-integration of renewable …
In the context of climate changes and the rapid growth of energy consumption, intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) are being predominantly installed in power systems.
