Latest Market Alert | 18 May 2026
Executive Summary
Industry and banking commentary highlighted by MUFG EMEA indicates that large-scale hydrogen and clean-tech infrastructure projects are facing increasing scrutiny over financing structures, long-term demand assumptions and debt sustainability.
Why It Matters
Clean-energy infrastructure remains a major global investment theme, but rising borrowing costs and uncertain revenue models are creating execution risk.
UK Commercial Impact
UK energy-transition projects may face slower financing approvals, higher debt costs and greater investor caution.
Global Commercial Impact
Global decarbonisation projects may increasingly require government support, blended finance or revised funding models to remain commercially viable.
Our View
The clean-energy transition remains strategically important, but the financing environment is becoming significantly more demanding as interest rates and geopolitical risk remain elevated.
