On distributed generation in US….
Ever since the 1992 EPACT, there have been voices (most notably, Bill Hogan @ Harvard) saying that with a market price, rational capital allocation will follow. But so far, those markets have been too illiquid – and more so after the fi nancial crisis. Virtually impossible to get contracts > 5 yr tenure, and prices vary far too much to be an accurate representation of long-term value. As a result, many are using those market prices to inform the dispatch of installed generation, but few are making new investments based on those markets. Doug Payne, Executive Director, SolarTech
On shipping effi ciencies…
The opportunities for climate-wealth investment in shipping are emerging partly because the role that shipping off ers for solutions, and the increased public policy attention, creates market conditions favouring innovation. James Corbett, Professor, University of Delaware
The shipping and freight industries represent one of the greatest untapped opportunities for creating climate wealth.

We need to put together a group of technical specialists who have the experience of operating in a commercial environment, but are also capable of producing an integrated technology roadmap and investment plan. This investment plan needs to overcome all the usual barriers to investment and be drafted in the language of any potential fi nanciers. The investment plan will need to show either that there are signifi cant opportunities on one island, or that there are elements on one that can be rolled out to a large number of islands or island economies.
