De-risking wind investments: reducing uncertainty, unlocking deployment

When: Wednesday, 22 April 2026, 11:30 - 12:45
Where: N103, N104

Session description

Wind projects stall when risks pile up faster than funding solutions. Developers and suppliers are facing higher costs, tighter margins and uncertain market trajectories. Join this session as we discuss how public funding, guarantees and smarter financial tools can be combined to cut uncertainty for developers and give suppliers the confidence to invest.
