Few bankable EV charging project deals have followed the hybrid pathfinder set by Allego. Project financings for consumer EV charging points have, at their core, a simple problem: there is often no guaranteed offtake and therefore no clearly defined revenue stream. But can project finance find a niche in fleet charging?
You can count the number of true project financings for European and UK interconnectors on one hand. But following changes to regulation, and more expected to follow in the coming months, the sector is looking increasingly project finance friendly.
The mining sector is becoming a new frontier for green finance, as lenders take a greater interest in ESG issues.
