In a tight economic environment, companies in the coal, gas and renewable sectors need to re-evaluate how to source finance and attract investment. Innovative financing solutions for future energy projects in the downstream and upstream of the energy supply chain will be essential.
Event overview
The resources boom saw investment in the Australian resources sector rise to record levels, driven by strong commodity prices and Chinese demand, and facilitating a healthy project pipeline.
Funding for this investment overwhelmingly came from the profits generated by resources companies. External funding sources, such as new debt and equity issuance, played only a limited role.
In a tight economic environment, companies in the coal, gas and renewable sectors need to re-evaluate how to source finance and attract investment. Innovative financing solutions for future energy projects in the downstream and upstream of the energy supply chain will be essential.
This NSW Energy Series event will examine:
- The shifts in energy supply and demand - what will drive investment feasibility;
- How to raise capital, minimise risk and attract investment in today's economy;
- Investment evaluation - what do banks look for when considering investment in the energy sector; and
- What Government initiatives promote the flow of funds into renewable energy projects.
