In our latest podcast, Cornwall Insight’s Research Partner, Daniel Atzori, and Key Account Leader, Bertie Bagge, talk with Dan Wells, partner at Foresight, and Gareth Baker, partner at Gowling WLG , about the likely impact of the COVID-19 crisis on financing low-carbon infrastructure.
Our experts look at whether the current economic slowdown will lead to delays to projects and government auctions, as well as to higher costs of capital and lower availability of debt. They also analyse the nexus between low energy prices and the attractiveness of corporate PPAs, and discuss the outlook for EV charging infrastructure, hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). Last but not least, they highlight the centrality of decarbonisation for future economic stimulus packages.
This podcast is part of our “Financing net zero” initiative, aimed at providing the investor community with a platform to exchange information and views, and to discuss common issues and concerns affecting energy policy, regulation and financing. The independent third-party mediation and contextual analysis provided by Cornwall Insight acts as a sound basis for informed, empirically based discussions on these and other key issues.
