Time: 15:30 – 16:30
Location: The main hall
Moderator: Adnan Rondić
The objective of the Financing the Energy Transition panel is to discuss the available financing options for implementation of energy transition with the banking sector representatives. The country took obligations through the adopted Western Balkans Green Agenda (Sofia declaration), Decarbonization Road Map, and National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and all of these obligations have huge financial impacts. Panelists will discuss options, challenges, and the readiness of banks to cope with these challenges. The panelists will also look at the growth of private equity investment in the last decade and the role that Power Purchase Agreements can play in supporting bank and private equity financing, providing a long-term investment solution that eases the impact on public infrastructure financing and helps achieve the goals of the Green Deal. The government’s role in supporting PPA uptake, feed-in tariffs and CAPEX subsidies will also be discussed.
