Why understanding risk is key to accelerating renewable energy projects

from Nexus - Actionable foresight Hosted by GHD

The energy transition is moving from ambition to execution. For utilities and developers, the challenge is no longer simply setting renewable energy targets. It is delivering viable projects at the speed and scale required while maintaining confidence in cost, schedules and energy security. That makes understanding risk a critical part of accelerating delivery. Resource quality, grid connections, permitting, project maturity, infrastructure access and realistic schedules can all determine whether a promising renewable energy project ultimately delivers as expected. In this episode, Ben Saffron, Executive Advisor and Investment, Policy and Economics Leader, joins Ben Hall, Global Thought Leadership Manager at GHD, to explore how utilities and independent power producers can identify the risks that matter, build greater confidence into procurement and investment decisions and move renewable energy projects more effectively from ambition to execution.
