The fall will lower the cost of capital and the required investment returns for renewable energy projects. This bodes well for the growth momentum of the sector, which has been expanding at a fast pace despite the many hurdles, writes Joseph Jacobelli.

Technology Focus: First-of-a-kind floating OTEC platform will generate 24/7 clean electricity
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is seeing another wave of interest. Global OTEC’s project in the African country of São Tomé and Príncipe, aims to demonstrate this renewable technology, which can deliver consistent and reliable power output all year round.
