Renewable energy is accepted as an abundant, clean and cheap solution to achieve the transition away from fossil fuels. But how cheap are renewables?
Our webinar will take an objective, commercial view of the facts. We will explore the issues of cost and market conditions – central to understanding the question of how rapidly an energy transition will occur.
You will get an overview of how renewables have evolved to be more economically viable over the years, and learn about how they compare to fossil fuels in terms of reliability and return on investment.
We have two brilliant and experienced speakers:
