Session 2 | Attracting FDI in renewables to build resilient and green economies

Nov 4, 2025 | 10:20 AM - 11:35 AM
Roger Ockrent - Chateau

Description

FDI in renewable energy is more than a growth opportunity – it is a strategic lever for energy resilience, economic transformation and climate action. This session will explore how governments and IPAs can position themselves to attract high-impact FDI in renewables, from wind and solar to emerging clean technologies. Panellists will discuss how investors assess opportunities in this fast-evolving sector, how governments segment and prioritise areas for investment, and which policy tools and institutional strategies make the biggest difference. The conversation will highlight the dual role of FDI in accelerating the energy transition while strengthening energy security.
