In this episode, Viola sits down with Lisa McDermott, Managing Director of Energy Transition Project Financing at ABN AMRO. Their conversation explores how the bank emerged in its modern form with a strong focus on both the energy transition and the European region. McDermott highlights ABN AMRO's unique entry into project financing renewables via offshore wind and talks us through the bank's rationale for expanding into new spaces, such as the hydrogen sector and what support mechanisms from governments make these projects more appealing. McDermott concludes by giving her view on how banks should best deal with merchant risk in the projects they back, and gives us her view on how the sector will evolve in the near future. Hosted by:Viola Caon - Head of Content, inspiratia Guest:Lisa McDermott, Managing Director of Energy Transition Project Financing, ABN AMRO Reach out to us at: [email protected] all of our latest news and analysis by subscribing to inspiratia Interested in tickets for one of our events?
