PFI Comment

New era for renewables

Exciting times for the financing of renewable projects – Maersk green methanol, Baltic Wind, Zenobe, Gridserve, CfD 5 etc. CfD 5? Wasn't that the UK renewables auction that failed? Not quite. There were plenty of projects that won contracts, and indeed some in new sectors such as geothermal won through. But the big elephant in the room, the offshore wind sector, did not and there was much comment on missed opportunities and the need for reform of the system – although slightly less on reforming the sector itself.
