The impact of increasing interest rates on green energy investments could have serious consequences for the global energy transition. To ensure investment in this sector does not slow down, green energy investments should be actively protected and encouraged. This could be achieved by policy supports and incentives such as tax credits and subsidies, that offset the potential increase in interest rates. However, more effective would be to categorise investments in green energy differently so that they are protected and not subjected to the same interest rates as other investments.
