There was a great discussion at EIC (Energy Industries Council)'s Energy 360 Summit in today's session on “Investing in Net Zero: Risk, Reward and Renewable Growth”. We heard from Freda Miller of Energy Transition Zone Ltd, and fellow panellists Shifali Aggarwal, CFA from Forvis Mazars, Christopher Marsh from Kent and Joseph Firas C. from UK Export Finance, tackling some big questions: Is there enough capital for net zero to happen? What role does policy really play? And crucially, is net zero happening fast enough? One clear takeaway: capital is available if you have a credible plan and a robust business case. There are plenty of funding avenues out there, often accompanied by hands on support from application through to delivery. But funding alone isn’t enough. Cash flow and the strength of the team behind the project matter as investors are increasingly focused on clear returns on investment alongside measurable impact. Net zero isn’t short of ambition or capital, execution, capability and confidence are where the real work now sits. It is encouraging to see such a practical, grounded conversation focused on what actually moves projects forward. Freda Miller | Nicola McGeown
