The Centre for Global Energy Policy outlines how public finance mechanisms must evolve to support clean energy technologies according to their specific readiness levels. The report argues that traditional funding models often fail to address the unique risks associated with early-stage innovations versus mature solutions. It advocates for tailored financial instruments that align with technological maturity, ensuring efficient capital allocation. This approach aims to accelerate the deployment of viable clean energy systems while mitigating financial exposure for investors and governments alike.
