BloombergNEF’s report on grid connection queues supported by Roadnight Taylor’s perspective and data
Bloomberg New Energy Finance have launched a report on grid connection queues in major European markets for renewables, looking to Roadnight Taylor as a source of insight on the topic. Meeting with Lara Hayim, Head of Solar at Bloomberg NEF, our Operations Director, Lucy Taylor and one of our Connectologists®, Nikki Pillinger, provided their perspective on the research, which aimed to understand why the grid permitting is an impediment to project development and why it takes so long to secure permissions. As well as appearing eight times in the report by name, Roadnight Taylor also provided some crucial data relating to connection costs and times, aiding the research to reach its conclusions.
