Demand, in the form of offtake or power agreements, is a significant factor in whether projects reach final investment decision (FID).
As countries turn inward, the flow of capital is shifting – and so is the bankability of major projects. Two years of EIC final investment decision data show where investment is going, which sectors are thriving and how finance is evolving.
As demand for energy grows, the pressure is on to scale supply.
SMEs are being asked to deliver bigger, more complex projects – but outdated financial frameworks and risk-heavy contracts are holding many back. Capital and finance issues must be resolved for a resilient supply chain.
EIC members report differing tariff impacts: logistics sees rising cost, complexity and uncertainty, while others remain insulated through local sourcing and diversified model. Do tariffs ultimately disrupt growth, or create opportunity for adaptable energy supply chains?
A key part of EIC’s work is to represent our members. We help them navigate markets and opportunities while giving them early access to market data.
From EIC Connect Britain & Ireland to Germany, EIC events unite members, developers and policymakers, delivering insights on hydrogen, renewables, nuclear and CCUS while shaping policy, unlocking investment and fostering supply chain growth across global energy markets.
