How to optimise income streams and untapped upside potential of EV charging
EV charging
8 March 2024
Barbara Zuiderwijk presented at the EV Charging Infrastructure Forum 2024. Interesting exchanges on user experience, evolving EV charging technologies and the challenges of a maturing industry.
Barbara shared insights about EV business cases, how to optimise income streams and untapped upside potential.
EV is destined to be the dominant technology for the vast majority of road vehicles in the near future
EV is primed for adoption and consolidation
Unlocking more (empirical) data will unlock access to cheaper capital
There is still untapped potential in most business cases – whether this is in energy trading, grid stabilization or alternative income streams next to EV charging
The market is stable/proven enough to make large investments. Key is to find the right investment!

Hydrogen deployment – From plans to practice
Hydrogen
16 October 2023
Green Giraffe Advisory – H2 Breakfast Networking Event, 12 October 2023
Green hydrogen and e-fuels are key markets for the energy transition, and over the last few years the Green Giraffe team has developed a strong track record of raising finance for green hydrogen and green ammonia projects around the world.
The announcements of Green hydrogen projects are plentiful – but what does it take to go from plans to practice?
Barbara Zuiderwijk shared Green Giraffe’s insight at the third H2 Breakfast Networking event co-organised with Loyens & Loeff in Rotterdam.
The presentation delves into the necessity for market players to take the first step together and what developers of big PtX projects can learn from how offshore wind went giga-scale – and got it financed.

Early development stage funding in offshore wind
5th Asia Offshore Wind day, Tokyo
24 January 2019
Learning from the European experience – how to attract development stage funding for Asian offshore wind.
Although offshore wind has had a relatively long and successful history in Europe, the parallel market in the promising waters of Asia and Japan is only just beginning. The combination of new jurisdictions, new regulations and inexperienced supply chains makes this a challenging environment for developers and nervous investors are pricing risks accordingly. In this presentation, Sophie Cherrier talks through the typical contracting structures used in European offshore wind projects, the three key stages of development funding and the risks faced by investors at each stage. She uses her extensive experience of advising on successful projects to illustrate which specific investors will be attracted at which stage of development and how developers can successfully mitigate risks to bring in external finance whilst enhancing value creation.

Financing floating offshore wind projects
Floating Offshore Wind UK
30 November 2018
After years of development and a few false dawns, 2019 is likely to be the year when floating wind becomes a reality
Although floating wind turbines have long since been regarded by governments worldwide as the natural end point for the renewables industry, their deployment to date has been slow and expensive. Despite the obvious benefit of access to deeper waters and better wind speeds, floating platforms have been warily regarded by institutional investors as unproven and highly speculative compared to their fixed cousins. This paradigm is now changing and there are at least 5 floating operational projects worldwide that are proving the concept and opening the door for mass deployment in the coming years. In the attached presentation, Clement Weber talks through the latest advances in this technology and how project sponsors who may have missed out on the low hanging fruit of fixed platform opportunities can access early stage equity and later stage debt to build out their projects.

Floating offshore wind – bankability & risk analysis
Floating Wind Seminar
25 April 2017
Green Giraffe, Norton Rose and Sgurr Energy organized a seminar on 19 April about floating offshore wind, where the status and commercialization prospects of this nascent sector were debated in front of a large audience including bankers, investors, contractors and industry advisors.
Clément Weber and Martin Guzzetti introduced the successful collaboration between Green Giraffe and Principle Power, focused on risk analysis of the WindFloat technology. They explained the risks involved in the development and construction of a hypothetical floating wind farm using the WindFloat technology and how these could be mitigated for investors and lenders.
The case study included contractual and technical mitigation solutions capable of optimizing the total project risk exposure, and it can serve as a functional model to assess the the the bankability of current and future floating offshore wind farms.
The conclusions drawn from the case study include the following:
Risk control starts with the design process considering the floating wind turbine unit as an integrated structure; collaboration with the turbine supplier is therefore central to defining the requirements and confirming acceptability of the floater’s performance;
The contractual structuring of a floating offshore wind project can be built on the fixed-bottom offshore wind experience with adjustments specific to floating technology; it also needs to be adapted to the (comparatively weaker) corporate strength of the technology providers;
The contractual arrangements with the turbine supplier should take into account the performance of the turbine when operating outside its design parameters due to the floater and the impact on energy production, be it detrimental or beneficial to the power curve;
Finally, floating offshore wind can raise financing if it targets the right financiers and meets their requirements, such as going through an extensive due diligence process focused on technology transparency, availability of operational track record, and the experience of the supply chain and development team.

Merit order effect: the case of solar PV and electricity spot markets
EU PVSEC 2014
24 September 2014
This presentation proposes a method to quantify the merit order effect of solar PV in Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland for the period 2007-2103.
Henri was invited to speak during the EU PVSEC in September 2014. This presentation describes the article in which Henri Gouzerh and Nicolas Gourvitch propose a method to quantify the merit order effect of solar PV in Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland for the period 2007-2013. They calculated the savings for power purchasers generated by the decrease in electricity spot market prices observed when solar PV plants feed electricity into the grid. The overall savings amounted to EUR 20 Bn across those five European countries for the 2007-2013 period, and were worth about 100 EUR per MWh of PV electricity fed into the grid, underlining the social value of the power generated by PV.
