Global investment in clean energy increased to $63.6 billion in the second quarter, boosted by the biggest deal in the industry’s history, Bloomberg New Energy Finance said.
Financing swelled 9 percent from a year earlier, and 33 percent from the first quarter, the London-based research company said today in an e-mailed statement. The main driver was the $3.8 billion backing of a 600-megawatt offshore wind farm off the coast of the Netherlands.
