Unlocking the potential of renewable energy investments

Growing demand for clean energy is leading to a significant increase in interest and investment in renewable energy initiatives, with US$358 billion invested worldwide in renewable energy projects in the first half of 2023. In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act is driving substantial economic investment through tax incentives that aim to lower the costs of renewable energy projects. These are attracting foreign entities interested in participating in the clean energy transition. However, investing in these large-scale projects can pose unique challenges, especially for those investors unfamiliar with the specific risks associated with these ventures. In this episode of Risk in Context, Marsh’s Alex Ackermann, Doug Halvorson, and Ben Roberts, together with Oliver Wyman’s Mei Shibata, discuss the questions that foreign investors tend to ask as they embark on renewable energy investments in the US, talk about the potential risks to be aware of, and share strategies to be considered when managing these exposures.
