Capital, Policy & Power: The Complete Investor's Guide to the Global Renewable Energy Transition

The global energy transition is no longer a question of whether - it is a question of how capital survives it. Spanning eight volumes and 42 chapters, Capital, Policy & Power is the first institutional-grade investment treatise to map the full complexity of deploying capital into renewable energy across jurisdictions, technologies, and geopolitical regimes. Written for portfolio managers, infrastructure equity partners, project finance bankers, sovereign wealth fund analysts, and energy-focused fund managers, this work moves beyond advocacy and scepticism alike to deliver what the market has lacked: a rigorous, integrated framework for evaluating where real money meets real risk in the energy transition.

At the heart of the book is the proprietary RISS (Renewable Investment Stability Score) - a multi-dimensional analytical framework that synthesises policy stability, grid infrastructure capacity, revenue structure, counterparty quality, technology obsolescence risk, and geopolitical context into a composite scoring methodology. RISS enables institutional investors to compare renewable energy opportunities across markets with the same analytical discipline they would apply to sovereign credit or infrastructure concession risk.

Volume I establishes the macroeconomic and physical foundations: why cheap energy certainty has ended, what the electrification shock means for demand curves, why grid constraint has become the binding scarcity, and why the industry's standard metric - LCOE - has systematically misled capital allocators. Volumes II and III dissect the geography and mechanics of risk across the world's major energy investment theatres: the American tax-credit machine, Europe's stability model, China's industrial strategy, India's growth gamble, and the sovereign-backed solar states of the Gulf and Southeast Asia. Curtailment dynamics, merchant volatility modelling, storage revenue stacking, and the weaponisation of cost of capital as policy instrument are examined with the quantitative depth that institutional decision-making demands.

Volumes IV through VI construct and apply the RISS framework, before confronting the geopolitical forces reshaping energy markets in real time - including the 2026 Iran-US conflict, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. policy retrenchment under the "One Big Beautiful Bill," the coal revival, the nuclear renaissance, and the rare earth supply chain crisis laid bare by the Trump-Xi summit. Volume VII maps America's energy dominance doctrine against China's industrial counter-strategy, with dedicated analysis of India, ASEAN, and the emerging Asian energy investment playbook. Volume VIII ventures to the frontier horizon: space-based solar power, Japan's OHISAMA programme, orbital AI data centres, and the commercial viability of off-Earth energy infrastructure.

Published in its First Edition in May 2026, this work incorporates analysis current through the most significant disruption to global energy markets since the 1973 oil embargo - and demonstrates, with uncomfortable precision, that the frameworks developed herein anticipated the very crises now unfolding. Capital, Policy & Power is not a book about why renewable energy matters. It is a book about how to invest in it without losing your capital, your discipline, or your strategic clarity.
