    Capital Choices in Clean Energy: Thinking long, thinking short

    Finance & Investment/Trading & Risk Management

    A few years ago, capital was crowding into cleantech on the theory that the energy transition was accelerating on every vector. The picture has since become more nuanced, with fund managers and institutional investors revolving back to a return’s orientation balanced with investment horizon realism.

Short-cycle investors are focused on margins, while long-cycle investors are still attuned to growth opportunities. How do companies, investors and developers craft their strategies in this new multiple choice capital markets environment?

We are beginning a multidimensional transition: a multispeed, multifueled and multi-technology transition with different road maps and end points for different countries. How can the deployment and scaling of new technologies be accelerated?  What will be the approaches to implementing the COP 28 commitments?
