TREND SPOTTING IN RENEWABLES INVESTMENT: WHO IS AND WHO IS NOT INVESTING IN RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND WHY

摘要

Raising funds in the renewables sector is more challenging than elsewhere, claims Adam Workman of investment firm CT Investment Partners. He cites many important reasons for this: investors have traditionally shunned regulation-driven markets; the renewables sector is complex and contains a diverse range of technology challenges; renewable firms are capital-intensive businesses; competition is scattered across the globe; there are few experienced deal leaders but a range of follow-on investors; and financial returns to date have been mixed. Investors want companies that can deliver sustained future growth.
