Half of investors see energy and environment deals collapse amid sustainability risks

In layman's terms this means half of the money people bet on rebuildable energy companies has gone up in smoke. If you bet big on renewables, you have lost big!

With marked policy shifts and regulatory uncertainty impacting the energy and environment sectors, many deals have fallen through – particularly when pertaining to sustainability companies. New data from S-RM shows that 53% of investors have seen an energy and environment infrastructure deal collapse in the past three years.

These comments have marked a wider shift in how governments go about supporting – or undermining – the sustainability segment. The US administration’s partial rollback of its prior focus on renewables has had a significant financial impact on many renewable energy investors and developers. Meanwhile, in Europe, the pushback from far-right figures, landowners and farmers has led to a stop-start approach to enacting flagship ESG legislation, which has also impacted portfolio companies’ bottom lines.

Amid this, S-RM has surveyed 150 global infrastructure investors, across emerging and developed markets in the infrastructure sector, including its four strategically important sub-sectors: transport and logistics, energy and environment, digital and telecoms, and social infrastructure. And the researchers found that the uncertainty in the space meant that 53% majority of investors reported that deals in the energy and environment infrastructure sector had collapsed, due to sustainability risks in the past three years.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he world has seen a number of clean energy wins as countries make inroads in adopting clean energy. For the first time this year, solar and wind power outpaced coal as the leading source of electricity in the first half of 2025. “It indicates a lot of really important things about the movements within the energy sector as a whole, and that direction is clearly toward reduced emissions,” says Jonathan Elkind, senior research scholar at the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy.

You claim to be smart, a professional, yet all you post is drivel and hate, I don't believe you ever worked the career you claimed to have, no one coming from the professional class behaves like you, like some troll in his grandmother's basement? But perhaps it's Trump derangement Syndrome in part? To see all your democrat delusions supplanted by a big dose of practical reality must truly be galling to a consumer who has embraced Homosexuality, feminism, violent immigrants, corrupt financial institutions and every other anti-societal concept that has flowed down the leftist pipe. What a mind-fuck.

An oldie but a goodie.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he hottest buzz-word in energy circles these days has got to be "renewables," which refers, of course, to energy sources that can be regenerated, like biofuels, as well as physical sources, like wind, hydro, geothermal and solar, which cannot be depleted. Using renewables in place of carbon-based fuels offers obvious environmental and perhaps geopolitical advantages, although most alternative energy sources still generally require subsidies or incentives to remain viable. In the case of solar electrical generation, the economic situation has, in fact, temporarily gotten worse, as we shall explain.

Germany Faces Gas Shortage Crisis: Industry Demands Strategic Reserve
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t is remarkable that Germany has largely ignored fundamental questions of energy market design and the security of grids with baseload energy for years—a consequence of ideologically driven decisions, for which then-Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck also bears political responsibility.

Current figures underline the urgency of the situation. Gas storage levels in Germany are currently dropping by around one percent per day due to the cold weather, with overall fill levels now at roughly 30 percent.
