While we would generally avoid quoting work from a company that we might consider a peripheral competitor, we are happy to do so when it backs up one of our central themes – in this case, inflation in renewable power costs. The quote is taken from the Wood Mackenzie report flagged article linked here and discusses a view on how challenges that renewable power installers have faced in 2021 will extend into 2022. The quote talks about shortages of renewable power equipment, and the obvious consequence will be higher prices for that equipment, especially as raw material prices for components remain high and possibly move higher. In our ESG and Climate report today, we talk about the need for some commonsense oversight such that impractical ESG investing targets do not limit the ability of producers of critical fuels and materials to operate.
