Democratisation Hub (Hall 7.2)
Session: Private finance can and is helping to achieve energy democracy: Here’s how
There is a common perception that it's only public funds that are supporting projects promoting the democratisation of energy. This is a misperception and in reality a significant level of private finance is flowing into this space, but not yet at the scale required. In this session we explore the why and how, and also showcase some inspiring case studies that demonstrate the genuine positive impact private investment can have on achieving energy democracy.
