On Tuesday, July 11, 2023, the 9th GreenUnivers conference on renewable energy financing took place, bringing together more than 300 professionals. Tevali Partners has been a partner of this conference cycle for six years, and had the opportunity to participate and discuss the current challenges of financing renewable energy projects.

Arthur Charpentier, Vice-President at Tevali Partners, spoke at a round table on the following topic: "Financing conditions, a worrying deterioration?".

Alongside him, Christine Delamarre (Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring - UNIFERGIE), Alexis Courtillon (Renner Energies), and Philippe GARREL (Sienna Private Credit) were able to take part in the discussion.

According to him, the market remains extremely attractive for investors as it allows a certain predictability, but it must adapt so that more projects can develop: "The market was waiting for a revaluation of incomes: many developers were waiting for prices to be revised upwards to allow many projects to get off the ground. With tariffs at 72 € per MWh for wind, for example, projects are not developed. So, among developers, there are pockets of projects that are still on standby."

However, there is reason to remain optimistic. Indeed, the Tevali Partners’ VP indicates that the results of the CRE's latest wind tender have sent a positive signal to the market. By setting a tariff of 85 € for the winning projects, this decision offers new perspectives for this renewable energy source and can stimulate the emergence of many projects that had previously remained on hold.
