Accelerating clean energy investment

As the global energy landscape continues to evolve, so too do the investment opportunities. Governments, energy companies, and financial institutions are tasked with rapidly deploying capital to increase energy efficiency, modernise existing infrastructure, and build renewable energy capacity. The ADIPEC Finance & Investment conference will bring together experts to discuss transformative investment strategies, innovative financing tools, and collaborative solutions that will be critical in building a resilient, low-carbon economy.

2024 Finance & Investment Conference themes

Mobilising investment for a sustainable future

Climate action investment is being supported by new energy and climate transition funds, like the UAE’s US$30 billion ALTÉRRA, with the goal of appealing to investors seeking risk-adjusted returns to overcome high initial capital costs as well as long ROI windows. Meanwhile, public-private collaborations are accelerating the accessibility and mobilisation of investment into climate technologies, supporting infrastructure, and scalability. However, there is still a growing disparity between the financial flows of today and those needed to build the low carbon high growth energy system of tomorrow.

Navigating uncertain geopolitical factors to secure energy transition investment

Geopolitical challenges continue to impact traditional fuel markets and renewable energy development, as well as investment confidence and commitments, all of which contribute to increased energy price volatility. For the energy transition to build momentum, policymakers must evaluate fiscal investment and policy frameworks through the lens of balancing immediate energy demand supply and security needs with commitments to delivering the new, lower carbon energy future as well as net-zero targets.

Ensuring the bankability of clean energy projects and technologies

Bankability challenges are stalling clean energy projects seeking the finance needed for development. Unclear ROI, complex risk profiles, high initial capital costs, and unpredictable policy incentives are all contributing to investor hesitation. The conference will examine how governments and organisations across the energy system can become adept at incentivising energy transition investment and at presenting a visible path to investment profitability.

Meeting the growing demand for resilient and clean energy in developing economies

According to the IEA, investments in clean energy, within developing economies, represent only 15% of the global expenditure. To achieve an inclusive energy transition, investment must be distributed more equitably to these regions, unlocking their clean energy and economic potential while addressing the financial, socioeconomic, and climate challenges that hinder growth and development. Delivering a just energy transition and economic prosperity for all will require a quickening of the flow of foreign direct investment to upgrade transmission, storage, and other elements of developing countries’ energy infrastructure.
