The importance of project finance for renewable energy projects (2018, background): “While power generation has always been an assetheavy industry, capital intensity is even higher for most renewable energy sources as compared to fossil fuel-based plants (Schmidt, 2014).”
On the political feasibility of climate change mitigation pathways: Is it too late to keep warming below 1.5°C? (2019, background): “The higher cost of borrowing capital in lower- and middle-income countries may disadvantage renewables (Schmidt, 2014) and slow down their adoption as compared to high-income countries.”
Sustainable Solutions for Green Financing and Investment in Renewable Energy Projects (2020, background): “Sources: Authors based on: [29], [18], [27], [7], [10].”
Limiting the public cost of stationary battery deployment by combining applications (2016, background): “Equation (5) describes the calculation of the value generated per year for all times t(VGtotal) within one year.”

The Effect of Local and Global Learning on the Cost of Renewable Energy in Developing Countries (2016, background): “However, high upfront costs remain a critical barrier for large-scale investments in clean technologies, especially in developing countries (IPCC, 2012; Schmidt, 2014).”
Fossilised Capital: Price and Profit in the Energy Transition (2021, background): “As Tobias Schmidt (2014), among many others, has pointed out, the cost structure of low-carbon technologies such as solar and wind – the two energy sources that account for the vast bulk of renewables investment in the past two decades – was and is a crucial factor.”
How do policies mobilize private finance for renewable energy?—A systematic review with an investor perspective (2019, background): “Reducing risks, and thereby lowering the investment hurdle rate, is particularly important for RE investments due to their high upfront capital and resulting high financing requirements [26,27,44].”
Mobilizing private finance for low-carbon innovation – A systematic review of barriers and solutions (2017, unknown): “Financial barriers consist of the information asymmetries and bounded rationality as financiers typically do not possess technological or political know-how to evaluate risks and returns of investments between fossil fuels and novel clean technologies [15,42,53,128].”
The role of capital costs in decarbonizing the electricity sector (2016, background): “More generally, Schmidt [16] shows that the LEC for renewable energy, such as wind, become significantly greater in environments where capital costs are high.”
