Technical Session: Financing Challenges |
|
||||
Energy security, exploitation of available clean energy potential, meeting sustainable development goals and reducing dependence on fossil fuels are some of the objectives that have driven major developing economies to transform the business as usual economy to a more sustainable economy. However, access and availability of suitable financing options has remained a major challenge. The price / kWh for RE has fallen across the global in last few years and has reached grid parity in many geographies. However, this has not been able to address all the challenges in financing RE. As the penetration of RE increases globally, various new threats and challenges are posed in financing the technology. Therefore, the objective of this session will be to discuss the challenges and risks associated with renewable energy sector and their possible mitigation measures to facilitate the smooth development of the RE sector.
