The World Bank has predicted that conflict in the Middle East could lead to a dramatic spike in oil prices, which is linked to increases in food prices - however it's argued that the forecasts do not take into account the ability of energy storage to meet demand
US offshore wind is beset by economic challenges, but this shouldn’t blind the sector to the potential for incorporating green hydrogen production into project plans
Attendees at 'Financing Wind Offshore' in Boston last week were quietly optimistic, even though the Biden administration's target of 30GW installed offshore wind by 2030 now looks out of reach. That positivity will be needed in the year ahead.

The cost of living crisis means more people are considering going off-grid, and a new study shows that energy storage could enable two million family homes in Europe to do just that
Unpredictability is one of wind energy’s biggest limitations. Power grids are designed to work with large controllable electricity generators and at present have little storage capacity.
Tomorrow we are set to launch our European PPA Trends special report, at an invitation-only networking event in London, in partnership with Augusta &Co. and event host Bird & Bird.
It’s an interesting time to be discussing the PPAs that companies in the wind sector are signing with corporates and other long-term energy buyers across Europe.
The structure was launched in 2016 by a group led by Allianz Risk Transfer, which is part of German insurance giant Allianz, and including evaluation and analytics risk management firm REsurety and investment manager Nephila Climate.
Are you joining us next week for an exclusive networking event and panel discussion on European PPA trends? If not, you should!
We’re more than halfway through Donald Trump’s presidential term – and, as far as wind investors are concerned, it’s a case of ‘so far, so good’.
With Brexit due in three weeks’ time, it felt like a good time to look again at Brexit and its potential impacts on wind.
The key to unlock the full potential of offshore wind in the North Sea, and elsewhere, could be linked to the development of power-to-gas technologies. Utilities, manufacturers and developers are now looking at ways to tie up offshore wind power production to hydrogen generation.
Europe’s wind industry has just been through the worst year for installations for seven years - and, in onshore wind alone, the worst year for a decade. This is according to WindEurope statistics.
Turbine makers Suzlon and Senvion went their different ways at the start of 2015. The former sold the latter to private equity firm Centerbridge Partners for €1bn.
Have you signed up for Financing Wind North America on 24th and 25th April in Denver, Colorado? All members are eligible to attend and, if you can't be there, we'd love to host a colleague or client in your place. Make sure you're making the most of your membership...
A catastrophic breakdown of human systems. A rapid collapse of the economic, social and political world as we know it. A worldwide financial breakdown far worse than the one in the late noughties.
