Global investors move into renewable infrastructure
Despite the economic disruption from COVID-19, top global debt and equity investors are continuing to drive capital into the renewable energy infrastructure sector due to its consistency in providing investment opportunities, finds a new report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA). Global investors are accelerating their collective move away from the massive climate-related risks associated with fossil fuel assets and building capacity so as to increasingly deploy huge amounts of capital into renewable energy infrastructure projects, says report co-author and IEEFA’s Director of Energy Finance Studies, Australia/South Asia, Tim Buckley. The continued expansion of investment shows the resilience of the renewable energy sector despite the economic disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. IEEFA’s report highlights the top debt and equity investors providing the funds to drive decarbonisation, as well as showcasing some of the biggest deals in the renewable energy sector.
