Resetting Renewables, Capital Markets & Bankability: with Matt Taylor, MD Green Giraffe

In this episode, host Stuart Broadley sits down with Matthew Taylor, Managing Director at Green Giraffe Advisory, to explore the shifting landscape of renewable energy finance across the APAC region. Matt reflects on his journey from engineering to green finance, the evolution of Green Giraffe’s advisory and investment model, and how bankability is being reshaped by supply chain constraints, rising capital costs, and emerging technologies.

Together, they unpack how Covid transformed renewable project financing, why data centres have become so prominent in global capital markets, and what it will take for wind, solar, hydro, and battery storage projects to regain momentum. Matt also offers insights into the rise of Asian supply chains, the reset underway in offshore wind tenders, and the conditions needed for renewable projects to remain attractive, scalable, and investable in a competitive global market.
