Outsourcing heat and power delivery has an over 20-year history in the US. But a focus on sustainability is taking over from financial engineering as a key driver of transactions.                                 In this feature, Tom Nelthorpe, Proximo’s Editor, discusses the shift in prioritization from financial engineering to sustainability in the U.S. heating and utilities sector. This transition is evidenced by DTE Energy Center's bond redemption, substantial university utility concessions at Ohio State and Iowa, innovative microgrid and energy efficiency projects at the University of Maryland, and significant district heating deals involving Enwave and Cordia, highlighting a broader trend towards clean energy solutions and sustainable infrastructure. 🔗 Read the full article here and find out Proximo's perspective: https://lnkd.in/ezZRvzsv #Proximo #ProximoIntelligence #EnergyFinance #EnergyTransition #Microgrid #CleanEnergy

The year-end rush in financial markets, including project finance, continues as Proximo Intelligence finalizes the 2024 data. High-profile deals from the last quarter of the previous year are emerging, such as prominent offshore wind projects like Revolution, South Fork, Coastal Virginia and Empire in the US. The previous year also saw the closure of the significant SunZia onshore project in late December, sponsored by Pattern Energy Group and valued at an impressive sum, exceeding the combined volume of the four 2024 offshore deals. Offshore deals are typically larger, helping big banks meet their lending budgets, while onshore projects, usually smaller, attract local and specialist lenders. In 2024, offshore wind volumes in the US might surpass onshore for the first time. Conversely, in Europe, onshore is expected to dominate the limited wind volumes this year. Globally, onshore has consistently led in volume since 2019. 📊 Subscribers can access more of Proximo data here: https://lnkd.in/d6wpbxtz 🔗 If you’re not a subscriber, explore Proximo’s subscription options here: https://lnkd.in/eFbDXRyh #ProjectFinance #OffshoreWind #OnshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTrends Source: #ProximoIntelligence

Proximo selects several key trends for the global project finance space in 2024 and considers some emergent trends that may shape the market in 2025. Thomas Hopkins, Proximo’s Deputy Editor, and Tom Nelthorpe, Proximo’s Editor, explore the project finance trends that defined 2024, such as the shifting focus from US LNG permits to Canada's Cedar LNG and the slow pace of growth in Europe’s EV charging infrastructure. Notably, South Africa led sub-Saharan Africa's renewables advancement with significant projects, including the Mogobe BESS, while innovative pre-NTP financing solutions emerged in the US. Looking ahead to 2025, how will the market adapt to potential shifts like Trump’s influence on renewables and the evolving dynamics in conventional and green hydrogen investments? 🔗 Read the full article here and find out Proximo's predictions for 2025: https://lnkd.in/e7G4hefW  #Proximo #ProximoIntelligence #ProjectFinance #InfrastructureFinance #BatteryStorage
