Webinar - Investing in the Energy Transition: Is floating a viable sector?

inspiratia's Investing in the Energy Transition Webinar sets the scene for the Investing in the Energy Transition event, which will take place in Milan on 1 and 2 October.

Italy has been on industry players' priority list for investment in Battery and Energy Storage Systems (BESS) recently as the market eagerly awaits the Italian government's FER X tender to launch.

However, investment opportunities in the country span beyond BESS. Since government plans have emerged for a floating wind CfD scheme in Italy, a number of international developers have announced plans to expand into the sector.

What challenges do those players face? How tangible are opportunities in the sector? What is the lender appetite?

Some key takeaways below:

• Clear regulatory regimes will be key to opening a market for floating wind in Italy
• International players have been positioning themselves and are positive about opportunities in the sector
• Lenders are still getting comfortable with the technology and will need proof from developers
• Port infrastructure and supply chain still pose challenges
