While the commercial renewables industry was born inside public policy and utility frameworks, the evolution of the industry in the past 3 years has widened considerably. For Climate Week NYC, Matt Breidert, Senior Portfolio Manager, TortoiseEcofin, a sustainable-focused investment management company, joins The Nest Summit powered by FINTECH.TV to talk renewable energy. The major shifts driving demand for large-scale renewable development and the key enabling commercial points that enable wider scale adoption will be explored, as well as the importance of market design for participants.
Specific areas of focus include: Decarbonizing supply chains; needed to promote a growing adoption of net-zero carbon corporate goals by leading multinationals. Transitioning to EV’s; a new 30 year cycle of electricity demand growth, driven by low-carbon resources. Green Hydrogen and e-fuels; renewables are the key enabling component of building zero net-carbon liquid fuels for heavy industry and transportation. Utilities in transition; faster adoption of renewables as a driver of customer satisfaction and shareholder returns.
