Debt and equity bankability for renewable energy project financing

The Energy Industries Council’s March 2026 Bankable Energies conference gathered financiers and borrowers to map out how to bridge the gap between net zero targets and the capital deployment required to reach them. With global investment in the energy transition hitting a record $2.3tn in 2025, the day’s conversation focused on risk mitigation and structured finance. Kristy Jooste AMEI, Senior Content Officer, Energy Institute, was there.

Can the UK learn from Europe on funding offshore wind?

The latest funding round for UK offshore wind farms yielded no bids from developers, yet the method had previously been an enormous success, both in getting wind farms built and keeping down costs to energy consumers. Time to learn from some European countries, writes Nick Cottam.

To secure a net zero future, the UK must recognise its place in the world

The UK was a decarbonisation pioneer, particularly in replacing coal-fired power generation with renewables (and gas). But the country is rather less well placed to build on its initial success and faces considerable investment challenges, writes Mark Williams, Senior Analyst with trade association Energy UK.

Supply chain challenges could stall new global wind capacity

The global wind industry can expect record installations in both onshore and offshore markets by 2025, with 680 GW of new capacity expected by 2027, according to the latest analysis by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). However, policymakers need to act now to avoid a supply chain bottleneck stalling deployment from 2026 and putting at risk key 2030 climate targets and net zero by 2050 ambitions.
