The energy transition requires trillions of dollars in funding to reach the climate targets set by governments and satisfy the expectations of their citizens. While investment in clean energy is rising, it still faces challenges associated with high-risk profiles, elevated initial capital costs and long ROI windows. Projects based in developing nations often face these challenges on an even greater scale.
