    The future of the energy transition with Enfinity Global

    Today’s podcast is the fourth in our four part series in partnership with Enfinity Global. Enfinity is one of Europe’s leading IPPs and the winner of inspiratia’s 2025 Developer of the Year and Financial Structure of the Year awards. In our series together, we explore the challenges, opportunities, and key decisions that European developers are faced with today and take a deep dive into understanding Enfinity’s approach to navigating - and shaping - the continent’s energy future.   In this episode, Maya is joined by Enfinity’s European leadership team, including Julio Fournier, CEO Europe, and Alessandro Ceschiat, General Manager for Italy, to unpack how the company has rapidly evolved from a “quiet” renewables player into a global IPP and partner of choice.  They discuss what it means to build a 35 GW+ pipeline across multiple markets, how lessons from Latin America and APAC are being applied in Europe, and why Enfinity Global believes trust, repeat partnerships, and local community engagement are central to long‑term value creation.

    Germany halts offshore wind tenders, Ørsted’s €1.44bn divestment, UK SMR ownership framework

    This week on Energy Transition Today, we examine Germany’s decision to pause its offshore wind tenders following the country’s first failed auction, and what the move signals for developer appetite across Europe’s offshore sector. We also cover Ørsted’s long-awaited divestment of its European onshore portfolio, TenneT Germany’s partial sale to KfW to unlock critical grid investment, and fresh hydrogen offtake developments linking Germany to Saudi Arabia’s green ammonia projects. Elsewhere, we unpack Poland’s latest gas and solar financing activity and Denmark’s faltering CCUS tender.   We close the episode with the UK’s evolving approach to small modular reactors, as the government sets out a formal pipeline intended to support privately funded SMR deployment while raising big questions around risk and regulation.

    Unlocking capital for the energy transition with Enfinity Global

    Today’s podcast is the third in our four part series in partnership with Enfinity Global. Enfinity is one of Europe’s leading IPPs and the winner of inspiratia’s 2025 Developer of the Year and Financial Structure of the Year awards. In our series together, we explore the challenges, opportunities, and key decisions that European developers are faced with today and take a deep dive into understanding Enfinity’s approach to navigating - and shaping - the continent’s energy future.   In this episode, our reporter Mathilde is joined by Amadeu Anguela, Head of Capital Formation and Investments for Europe at Enfinity Global, and David Cerqueira, Director at Arkereos Capital, to unpack how the renewable energy financing landscape has evolved in recent years and what that means for developers and investors today. Together, they discussed shifting macro fundamentals, the rise of new financing structures, and how institutional capital is adapting to increased volatility and complexity. Amadeu and David also explore how battery storage is reshaping investment strategies, why energy management is becoming central to value creation and how developers are rethinking market focus, scale and capital stack optimisation across Europe.

    UK's AR7 fallout, Germany's gas win, Poland's bet on merchant onshore wind

    In this episode of Energy Transition Today, Leonard and Maja start with the fallout from the UK’s AR7 offshore wind auction, looking at record awarded volumes alongside cancelled projects and growing strain on the development pipeline.  They then turn to Poland, where RP Global is progressing a highly leveraged, largely merchant onshore wind project, highlighting rising lender confidence in Central and Eastern Europe.  The focus moves to the Netherlands and its decision to introduce a temporary one sided CfD to relaunch a 1GW offshore tender and rebuild investor appetite.  The episode also examines Germany’s newly approved gas capacity programme and what it means for system security, before closing with the surge in battery storage investment, including major equity and debt financings for terralayr in Germany and Greenvolt’s grid scale project in Hungary.

    US chooses Venezuelan oil over domestic wind, Poland’s offshore and gas push, UK’s M&A run

    For the first Energy Transition Today episode of the year, we summarise the goings on over the past few weeks, starting with the US military intervention in Venezuela. The Trump administration’s intervention in Venezuela accompanied by a soft pledge to exploit the country’s oil resources has cast doubts over US’ energy transition targets. This move, barely two days into the new year, follows additional restrictions on 6GW of offshore wind capacity that is currently under construction. On this side of the pond, there has been slow but steady progress within the renewables sector with Gresham Houses new storage acquisition, Equitix increasing its ownership of offshore transmission assets, among other green infra-assets, and the gradual inflow of winner announcements under NESO’s Gate 2 tender. Poland, on the other hand, has defied all odds and successfully concluded its first offshore wind auction late last month. The country also proceeded to log impressive progress on grid upgrade projects that will facilitate the influx of offshore wind generation in the future. In addition, Poland has been steadily adding more gas peaking capacity to its generation portfolio to plug the gap left by its aging coal fleet. This move has widespread backing including from commercial banks.
