Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Power Crisis to Power Market EP.304
Q: What is Mulilo's plan to reach 5 GW (and beyond) in five years, and what is needed to deliver that pipeline?
Sustained investment in transmission, regulatory certainty, deep local capital markets, capable contractors, skilled people, and an ecosystem where government, lenders, and communities collaborate effectively to move projects from close to construction.
From Power Crisis to Power Market EP.304
Q: What does building for a private buyer demand look like compared to a government PPA like REEEP?
Private buyers demand differentiated capabilities such as uptime, operational certainty, and price stability, while government procurements emphasized competitive pricing and technical excellence; private markets broaden the addressable market and require more nuanced deal structuring and risk management.
What Happens When a Market Moves Fast? EP. 305
Q: How has Cubico navigated the market's changes and what is the structure of the mixed investment scheme?
He details a long-term joint venture between CFE and private developers like Cubico, including a 25-year off-take and the co-location of renewables with storage within a unified asset framework, supported by a robust advisory network.
What Happens When a Market Moves Fast? EP. 305
Q: What was your perception about the Mexican power market before landing here and afterwards?
William explains it was a mix of design-driven timing and an exciting, fast-moving environment, with a clear sense that Mexico was on the verge of a step change in its power market.
Why Higher Interest Rates May Be Good for Clean Energy EP. 302
Q: Before we wrap up, do you have a favorite out of consensus take on the market right now?
Moving beyond tax credits will be good for the energy transition; glide paths and sensible policy guidance support capital flow and execution, with renewables expected to snap back as gas costs and construction timelines shift over the coming years.
