Outlook 2022: Recovering the costs of the energy transition
Recouping the cost of wide-ranging support payments in an efficient way is a major challenge and requires a new approach to avoid undesirable outcomes
As the world builds momentum to decarbonise, changing mindsets and breaking down silos are set to be key features in addressing costs, financing and subsidies long into 2022 and beyond.
