ACCELERATING THE CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION
● Investment in renewable energy and in energy smart technologies
(efficiency, smart grid, power storage, demand response).
● Improvements in technology and reductions in cost.
● Development of financing tools to enable the transition to take
place as quickly as possible.
● Development of government and international policies to
encourage investment in renewables and energy smart
technologies. Remove fossil-fuel subsidies.
● Investment in transitional energy sources, eg coal-to-gas
switching, fast-ramp-up gas peakers, perhaps some nuclear and
carbon capture and storage.

WHAT HAS BEEN NEW IN EUROPEAN FINANCING IN 2014-15?
● Size of direct institutional deals: four Danish pension funds
spending EUR 600m on half of Gode Wind, La Caisse
spending GBP 644m on half of London Array.
● Biggest non-hydro project financing ever. Gemini EUR 2.8bn
offshore wind, May 2014: two pension funds (PKA and NPI)
providing subordinated loan/mezzanine of EUR 200m.
● UK quoted project funds raised another $700m last autumn,
and in February, ACS sold 51% stake in Saeta Yield, a vehicle
containing Spanish wind and solar assets, for EUR 424m, in
Madrid IPO in February.
● Morocco sees $524m financing of solar thermal plants in May,
Egypt holds first auction for wind and solar tariffs, Jordan
commissions wind and PV projects.

LATEST EUROPEAN POLICY DEVELOPMENTS
● New UK Conservative government set to stop subsidies for new
onshore wind projects. Uncertainty over whether this includes projects
that already have planning permission.
● The German government’s first tender for PV projects saw 170
applications, heavily oversubscribing the 150MW capacity, with bids
coming in at EUR 90-100 per MWh.
● Sweden and Norway agreed to raise the production target of their REC
market, to remove oversupply of certificates.
● There is a general trend away from feed-in tariffs and green certificate
systems towards auctions for renewable capacity, eg UK, Germany,
Poland, Italy, France.

Note: The clearing price in 2018/19 applies to onshore wind – the price for the energy from waste projects
was capped at their administrative strike price of GBP 80/MWh. Prices are in 2012 values.
