Official Course Description:
With the adoption of the energy turnaround, the nuclear phaseout and an even faster shift to the utilization of renewable resources in the future, related funding issues have gained considerable political importance. Questions concerning financing of renewable energies will be discussed on the one hand. The renewable energy industry sector is used to analyze specific financing problems along the entire business life cycle. It starts from early stage financing through institutional investors (Venture Capital), followed by financing the growth and maturity phase, including Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), and ends with consolidation of corporate takeovers (M&A) and outsourcing of project financing.
On the other hand we discuss the costs of the energy turnaround from the viewpoint of – currently predominant – utilities, which generate energy from conventional resources. It comes to the question of potential changes in the cost of capital derived from the nuclear phaseout or additional costs resulting from deconstruction of old power plants. Furthermore selling of electricity networks and the use of released financial resources is under consideration.
