So, What is the Current Financial Climate for European Energy?
Session Time: 09:30 - 10:30
From recession to sovereign debt crises, Europe has faced a fair amount of financial turmoil in the past few years. And yet, energy policy seems headed for a world of ever more subsidised low carbon options requiring ever greater amounts of energy infrastructure investment. At what point do Treasuries get nervous? Will funds be available from an ever more regulated and scrutinised financial sector? We open the EAGC with a look from the till:
- What is the financial outlook?
- Has the financial environment for energy improved in Europe or do we face yet more treacherous waters?
- Can Europe’s treasuries lead us in the right direction?
- What does this mean for infrastructure/CAPEX investment for gas projects (as well as renewables, nuclear & CCS investment)?
- Will recent crises inhibit investment decisions for energy projects & infrastructure?
