This special episode of More Power
To You brings you the presenters' opening remarks from the
Financing Green Infrastructure session at the 2017
International Offshore Wind Partnering Forum (IPF) in
Annapolis, Maryland. The three presenters are:
- Nick Gardiner, Head of Offshore Wind, UK Green Investment Bank
- Nigel Slater, Managing Director for Offshore Wind, UK Green Investment Bank
- Chris Moscardelli, Director, Energy Project Finance Group, Société Générale
The presenters discuss the challenges of meeting early wind farm financing needs and their view of the investor readiness to meet the future financing needs of the growing U.S. market. The presenters share their different investment perspectives, from the government mandated goals of the UK Green Investment Bank to the private energy lending goals of SocGen. This session took place just a few hours after Macquarie's purchase of the Green Investment Bank was announced.
A brief technical note about the audio: after the presenters finished their opening remarks at the podium, the session continued with a panel discussion which unfortunately was not captured on microphone. Therefore this podcast episode ends at the conclusion of the opening remarks.
