The war on Iran and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz made energy independence once again a top priority for Europe. The pattern looks familiar, with the same initial reaction as in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine. Momentum soon faded, however, and the past years have been quite tough for the renewable energy sector. Will the current situation lead to a new phase in the energy transition?
In this episode of Inside Impact Investing, experts Bert Stuij (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) and Sonja de Ruiter (Triodos Investment Management) discuss whether Europe can finally turn momentum into lasting change.
Key topics of this podcast include:
- Why does the energy transition matter more now than ever before?
- Why did the 2022 momentum fade?
- What are the key bottlenecks holding back progress?
- What is needed to accelerate change?
- What role can investors play?
As Sonja de Ruiter notes: “It is mainly capital that drives innovation so investors have a huge role to play.”
