POWERING CHANGE: FINANCING INDUSTRIES' SHIFT TO CLEAN ENERGY
Presented by Crédit Agricole CIB
1:00 - 2:00 pm
As industry leaders are shifting toward renewable energy, financial institutions have developed innovative financing options to accelerate the transition and empower companies to access clean energy adoption. Among those, the Corporate PPA and other direct agreements and subsidies have become popular to reduce corporations’ carbon footprint, support the creation of renewable energy, and even cut costs. How can financial institutions and investors play a pivotal role in mobilizing capital towards renewable energy projects? What are the emerging trends and opportunities in energy supply financing that can spur the adoption of renewable energy technologies for businesses and contribute to Net Zero trajectories? How can regulatory frameworks, standards, and policy incentives be optimized to facilitate the integration of sustainable energy sourcing into mainstream investment practices, fostering a resilient and green economy? What does this shift trigger in cultural evolution within Corporations and Financing Institutions?
