The Energy Transition financing gap in Europe

The EU has set forth the Fit for 55 and RePowerEU agenda to quickly improve its sovereignty towards fossil fuels and achieve a just and sustainable energy transition by 2030. Among the EU’s ambition is to double its the renewable energy mix to 42.5% from the 2020 level of 22%.

Infrastructure investments benefit from cash flow visibility thanks to the contractual nature of projects.

Public policies across Europe are creating a strong and irreversible momentum in favour of energy transition.
