https://lnkd.in/ednWzqtW It's always rewarding to reflect on RPC's progress and ambitions, and this Q&A with inspiratia's Ashkenaz A L was no different. We discussed Renewable Power Capital's openness to merchant risk, our innovative approach to PPAs, and our aspiration to bring every onshore renewable and storage technology to each one of our key markets.   With private investment at the forefront of minds on the energy transition ahead of the Global Investment Summit today, it was timely to discuss the role for institutional investors in battery storage projects, which I expect will increase given the growing tolerance for risk in the financing of renewable generation.

"The creation of the Renewable Energy Investment service was a natural extension of Colliers' investment consultancy in response to market needs", explains Piotr Mirowski, Senior Partner, Investment Services at Colliers ► https://lnkd.in/ddEZekmx #renewableenergy #consulting #commercialrealestate #propertyinvestment #realestateinvesting #realestatetrends

As we push towards a #renewableenergy future, energy storage is emerging as the cornerstone of the net-zero transition. The ability to store and dispatch power on demand is attracting major institutional investors and transforming our approach to #sustainableenergy. Key Highlights: • Energy storage enables 'load shifting' and provides vital frequency response benefits for distribution networks. • Major asset owners like BCI, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, and Norges Bank Investment Management are investing heavily in energy storage. • #Australia is leveraging its unique advantages to become a key player in the #Asia region for renewables and energy storage. • Off-grid solutions are revolutionising energy access in remote locations and industrial operations. "Globally, we need to rewire and reconfigure about 80 million kilometres of grid to accommodate the renewable transition. This requires massive investment and innovation across various technologies," Edward Northam, head of core renewables and head or Asia Pacific for Macquarie Asset Management Green Investments told AsianInvestor. QIC which acts a both an LP and GP is also at the forefront of this revolution. "We've created a Queensland Critical Minerals and Battery Technology Fund, which allows us to build capability and track record in this important sector before it becomes more broadly investable from an institutional perspective," Kylie Rampa, CEO of QIC, said highlighting a recent development on behalf of the Queensland state government.

Private equity is increasingly crucial in financing the global energy transition, with investments in renewables hitting $7.2 billion in 2023—the highest in five years. Firms like KKR, Apollo, Brookfield, and Blackstone are raising energy transition funds, leveraging their expertise to support renewable energy projects while managing the risks of emerging technologies. Yet, many PE groups continue investing heavily in fossil fuels, with some allocating over half their energy portfolios to oil and gas. This dual strategy highlights the tension between maximizing returns and prioritizing sustainability. Policy changes, like the Inflation Reduction Act’s transferable tax credits, create opportunities for clean energy development, but political shifts favoring fossil fuels can introduce uncertainty. Private equity holds the power to accelerate the clean energy future. The question is: How can firms balance profitability and sustainability to lead the green transition? - https://lnkd.in/dUwuczma - https://lnkd.in/dZdZm9iB - https://lnkd.in/dWkTrKBh
