Picking Winners in the Evolving Renewable Project M&A Landscape

June 18, 2018

The merger and acquisition landscape for renewable energy in the United States is maturing. It also continues to be shaped by an array of ever-changing forces, the long-term impacts of which are not yet known. However, owners and investors in the renewables sector are operating in an environment with increasingly attractive returns, particularly for wind and solar projects. In a growing portion of the U.S., new utility-scale wind and solar are the lowest-cost sources of electricity available, outcompeting even natural-gas projects. As a result, more investors are getting into the game.

24/7 Clean Power : A Climate Technology White Paper

whitePaper | June 16, 2022

Driving power sector emissions down to zero is essential to achieve a net-zero economy. The electrification of energy demand in all other sectors is only effective under the assumption that power sector emissions fall to zero. A 2017 meta analysis of power sector models found that while creating a net-zero power system based solely on variable renewable power was possible, this would require a significant overbuild of capacity to ensure reliable power supply. Power systems based solely on variable renewables were several times more expensive than systems where 80% of power was supplied by variable renewables.

Getting airborne – the need to realize the benefits of airborne wind energy for net zero

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

Airborne wind energy (AWE) is wind 2.0 – a game-changing solution accessing the large untapped wind resource potential at heights above those accessed by established wind technology. It enables more energy to be extracted at lower carbon intensity and eventually at lower cost. Europe and other areas in the world need to access all viable natural resources they can, and AWE, alongside established wind technology, should be considered as one of the key solutions to our energy decarbonisation challenge.
