Energy Insiders Podcast: Is this the end of the wind and solar boom?

20 big investors warn that new wind and solar projects won’t go ahead without changes to marginal loss factors process. Group chairman Rob Grant explains why they want an interim change that will be fairer to investors, and reflect what is actually happening on the grid.

Plus: Giles and David discuss all the news of the week, including coal generation in decline, but COAG is back, and news on the world’s biggest solar project and South Australia’s plans for a 100% renewable hydrogen economy.
