At our Financing Energy Transition 2024 conference in May, industry leaders Lucy Heintz, Jonathan Cole, Suresh Bhaskar, Joost Samsom, and Natasha Luther-Jones discussed the future of investment in wind and solar on the day's first panel session.
Key talking points included...
⚡ Growth in Solar: Despite challenges like grid curtailment and over-production, solar continues to thrive in established and emerging markets such as India and Africa.
🔋 Energy Storage: Lucy Heintz emphasised the crucial role of storage systems and hybrid PPAs to manage intermittent wind and solar production effectively.
🌏 Global Collaboration: Speakers highlighted how almost 200 countries pledged at COP28 to triple renewable capacity by 2030, showcasing the power of collaboration across wind, solar, and storage sectors.
🌬️ Chinese Wind Turbine Makers: Speakers stressed the important role that Chinese manufacturers can play in a cost-effective global energy transition, and cautioned against efforts to restrict their influence in the European Union and US.
💬 Corio Generation's Jonathan Cole noted: “It’s probably never been more important to be doing what we’re doing, but it’s also never been more challenging.”
