Green energy credit: financing the European energy transition
The energy transition will require trillions of dollars of new investment in the coming decades. In Preqin’s 2023 Global Report, Scott Lawrence and Claudio Vescovo discuss how green energy credit can support this transition and offer a stable income stream and an inflation-linked absolute return.
Key themes discussed include
- Where green energy credit can be added in an investors’ portfolio
- How green energy credit can provide a hedge against inflation
- Why an owner/operator approach can benefit a green energy credit strategy
- How recent political and economic events in Europe have impacted the green energy credit market
