Green Insider - Autumn Edition - September 2020

Welcome to the Autumn edition of the Green Insider, this is the fifth edition of our quarterly newsletter. This year is our tenth anniversary as a business. It has certainly proven to be an eventful year. Whilst we have aimed to avoid a direct discussion of COVID-19, it is a recurring feature of many of the articles in this edition. The influence of the virus has been curious for the green energy and technology space. On one hand there has been a short term impact in relation to new capacity installations, yet on the other hand there has been optimism that the change to lifestyles has awakened more sustainable attitudes in the wider population. Above all we hope that you have and will remain healthy and safe at this time.

As with previous editions we have included a mixture of geographic and technology/sub sector specific articles. This edition includes debut articles from Sean Goldenberg our new MD for our Orlando office, which tackles energy storage in the US, and Liam Thomson who joins our disruptive technology team in the UK. Liam looks at the situation in cybersecurity for smart grids. Other contributions include a look at hydropower’s role in China’s BRI scheme, mega projects in Australia, PPAs & Green Finance in Europe, circular design in solar technology, flow batteries vs Lithium Ion, the French solar space and a look at New York’s latest renewable energy solicitation.
