FT Global Renewable Energy Summit
 

The renewables industry has reached a fundamentally new stage in its development. The cost of some renewable technologies - wind and solar in particular - has fallen to a level which has seen them become cost competitive with fossil fuels in some markets. A growing number of countries are adopting policies to encourage the growth of renewables, and the industry is attracting a new class of investor more commonly attracted to the stable returns of traditional infrastructure investments. The focus is now on the challenges ahead, on the need to attract new sources of finance, to create the interconnections which will deflect the criticism of intermittency which has dogged the sector, and convince industry detractors that renewables are both affordable, and can play a pivotal role in the world’s energy future. 

The Financial Times Global Renewable Energy Summit: Transforming the Energy Paradigm brought together leading renewable company and utility leaders, government decision makers, economists, financiers and investors to discover how the economic, financial and political framework for renewables is evolving, and to assess the implications of growing renewable deployment for the future shape of the energy industry.
