Solar Finance & Investment Europe 2023 | Solar Media Limited | 31 January 2023 | Leonardo Royal Hotel Tower Bridge, 45 Prescot St, London E1 8GP, UK

It changed everything for the energy industry. The geopolitics of energy security flew to the top of government agendas and gas drove power prices to new levels. This was set against a backdrop of rising commodity prices and supply chain challenges which had a real impact on how project economics were modelled and how quickly projects could come together.

Yet, despite these headwinds, the solar industry proved once again how resilient it is.

The 2022 edition brought investors and lenders together from across the continent to share success stories, best practice, win new business and return to in-person networking.

The 2023 edition, our 10th anniversary edition will bring together the largest pool of capital and projects together. Reserve your space now to avoid disappointment.
