Event Overview

The upcoming Green Shoots webinar titled Renewables at a Crossroads will take place on April 23, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM (BST). This online event aims to address the critical question: can the energy transition remain on track amidst a changing global political landscape?

The webinar will feature discussions led by industry experts, including David Bird, Investment Director at Octopus Energy Generation, and Joe Crehan, Investment Director at Greenbank. They will analyze the current state of the renewable energy sector, highlighting both opportunities and risks. The session will cover the impact of recent political developments, particularly in the United States, where policy shifts under President Trump may affect clean energy investments and the broader global energy transition.

In 2023, global renewable energy capacity additions reached a record of nearly 510 GW, marking the 22nd consecutive year of growth. The session will explore how supportive policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, have spurred investment in clean energy technologies. However, the potential reversal of these gains due to new energy agendas prioritizing fossil fuels will also be a focal point of discussion.

Participants will gain insights into:

  • The implications of new U.S. energy policies on renewable growth.

  • The future of renewable subsidies under the Inflation Reduction Act.

  • Investor perspectives on the evolving political landscape affecting clean energy infrastructure.

This webinar is part of Greenbank's ongoing commitment to fostering discussions around sustainable investment topics. For those unable to attend live, a recording will be available for later viewing. Interested individuals can register for the event here.
