📰 Following the European Commission's call for proposals under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF), published in February, there are three cut-off dates for projects eligible for funding pending: 24 September 2025, 11 June 2025 and 17 December 2025.   In an article for Law360, German Partner Dr Christian Bauer summarises the program's key elements and assesses its expected impact on infrastructure investment across the European Union, highlighting new funding opportunities for port operators and shipowners.   👇 Read the full article below or on Law360 here (subscription required): https://lnkd.in/et_2M6P3   #WFW #Infrastructure #AlternativeFuels

Key insights from the Federal Budget for those in the Energy & Infrastructure sectors.

Hydro Ottawa urgently seeks government support for critical infrastructure upgrades! 🏛️⚡ CEO Bryce Conrad warns of "massive investment" needed to meet surging electricity demand, new housing needs, and climate challenges. The utility now requires annual substation builds, up from one every 5 years. Without federal and provincial funding, ratepayers could face steep increases. Why isn't current funding for generation and transmission enough? Hydro Ottawa says "last mile" distribution needs are being overlooked. Learn why Ottawa's local utility is sounding the alarm on future energy needs: https://loom.ly/NW6OKV0

Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a $430 million investment in #hydroelectric projects across 33 states to support critical capital improvements to facilities related to grid resilience, dam safety, and environmental improvements. The funding is allocated from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Maintaining and Enhancing Hydroelectricity Incentives Program (Section 247), which NHA has continued to help secure through ongoing dialogue with DOE. The $430 million will be used to upgrade aging infrastructure across the nation’s hydroelectric fleet while also protecting 6,000 existing jobs at #hydropower facilities, contractors, and vendors.

It is not at all realistic that this scale of energy infrastructure can be planned, approved, financed and built in just 10 years, which is what would be required merely to decarbonize Canada’s existing electricity needs. Keep reading: https://lnkd.in/eRMeerdB

PIPELINE REPORT 📈 | Our latest Pipeline Report, a mid-year review of the Australia and New Zealand Infrastructure Pipeline (ANZIP), has revealed a high level of resilience in the forward infrastructure pipeline since January, despite continuing economic challenges. The below chart reflects the record growth achieved over the past six months, putting the forward infrastructure pipeline on a trajectory to comfortably outpace 2021’s growth that was driven by a wave of COVID-related government stimulus projects. In the latest report, we’re continuing to see a departure from the traditional drivers of pipeline growth with new investment in #transport slowing - which was particularly apparent during the latest Budget season - amid record levels of new #investment in #energy, with #offshorewind a significant recipient of this investment.
