The amount of renewable generation that is forecasted to come online over the next few years is staggering. But renewable assets face risks - risks associated with the changing climate in the first place. As weather patterns change, affecting cloud cover, snow melt, or wind speed - renewable assets are especially vulnerable to these changes.
In this episode, Paul unpacks how the changing climate may affect our increasing reliance upon renewable generation for our power supply.
