The renewable energy industry presents complex challenges that include day-to-day financial issues, sourcing financing for capital costs, assuring appropriate insurance from a limited number of providers, dealing with tax burdens and price distortions from existing subsidies, and keeping up with technology for the rapid development pace.
Additionally, there is a consistent need to identify and manage risk to create value for both investors and consumers. Unlike established large utility businesses, the industry also requires high-level strategizing to overcome perceptions that it is a risky investment due to initial infrastructure costs and the unknowns of relatively new resources.
Many companies also struggle with the transition from establishing a company to becoming a full-fledged entity that requires flexibility and structure in the workplace.
