RENEWABLES INVESTMENT TRENDS IN 2010

摘要

The first quarter of 2010 found the renewable energy sector largely out of the limelight, following the inconclusive Copenhagen climate change conference in December 2009. However, investment continued at a level significantly above that of a year earlier. Investment in clean energy assets (not including large hydro) was $29.5 billion in the first quarter of the year, some 63% above that in the same period of 2009. It was up from $26 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, a strong result given the continuing uncertainties in the world economy and the financial markets and the impact of the Northern Hemisphere winter on project progress.
