Barclays bankers say risks arising for renewables where 'systems integration fails'

In an age dominated by war, inflation and Al, investors may be underestimating the risks now associated with renewable energy assets.

- 

That's according to a group of bankers at Barclays Plc, who just published a paper laying out their views on the future of the clean energy transition.

"The classic stranded-asset story focused on fossil fuels, but what we are now seeing is stranded-like outcomes also emerging for renewables," Daniel Hanna, group head of sustainable and transition finance and a contributing author to the paper, said in an interview.

He says risks are now arising for renewables where "systems integration fails." And if clean energy can't connect to the grid, it starts to risk obsolescence.
