The outlook for renewable energy infrastructure
in the US has never looked
more promising, especially now that
President Joe Biden’s administration
has re-joined the Paris agreement and
made green energy a top priority. Chris
Ortega, managing director and head of
Americas at Morgan Stanley Infrastructure
Partners, emphasises the importance
of investing to support the whole
value chain of technologies that will
facilitate the transition away from carbon-
intensive energy systems – and the
infrastructure already in place should be
one of the first places to look.
