Floating wind milestones and the Germany question

The Joint Venture: inspiratia insights
The team look over the past week of news and give their views on market trends in the energy sector

In this week's episode, we spotlight Blackstone's monumental close of its BGREEN III fund at $7.1 billion (£5.59bn €6.53bn), marking it as the largest energy transition private credit fund to date. Simultaneously, United Bankers unveils its new Renewable Energy Fund, with portfolio managers sharing insights on their focus.

Venturing into innovative territories, RWE advances its pilot floating wind project, DemoSATH, pointing to a promising future for the technology.
We provide a quick PPA roundup, featuring collaborations between Nucor & Sebree, Encavis & Allego, and Statkraft & AstraZeneca.

We take a deep dive analysis into how energy markets are putting additional strain on Germany's manufacturing sectors. Is this a temporary period of readjustment, or will Germany find that competitive disadvantage is the new normal?

Rounding off this episode are some of the hard facts and data from CCUS projects. With the benefit of extensive start-up funding from governments in the UK and the US, where will the long-term viability of these projects land?
