When the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) announced yesterday (5 December) that they had not received any bids for the country’s most recent offshore tender in the North Sea, it may have come as a surprise to some more casual observers. Does this mean that offshore wind is not feasible anymore in the country where it all started? Or is this something that actually surprised very few in the offshore wind (and indeed electricity) industry and can be more easily remedied? Green Giraffe Advisory’s Nordics team has something to say about this: https://lnkd.in/eDrTKkEv

Our colleague Matthew Taylor, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, had the pleasure of speaking on the panel on 'Innovative Support Mechanisms for Renewable Energy Project Development' at the APAC Clean Energy Finance Summit last week, organised by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).   It was an important discussion on how to mobilise the capital needed to scale up the energy transition in APAC through different tools and instruments to manage risks to financiers and improve the value proposition of financing renewable energy projects in the region.   We were glad to contribute our knowledge on this topic and hope to continue to do so to accelerate the energy transition in APAC! Many thanks to Ranishka Wimalasena, Senior Energy Specialist at Asian Development Bank (ADB) for hosting, and to the other panellists, Yi-Hua Lu, Head of APAC at Corio Generation, Tim Palmer, Head of Renewables and Transition at UK Export Finance, and Rachel Chia, Managing Director, Head of Project Finance Asia Pacific at Deutsche Bank for the insightful discussion. #APACWindEnergySummit #RenewableEnergy #Finance #Sustainability #APAC
