The Best Markets for Wind and Solar Are Not Where You Think | Ep216: Daniel Calderon

In a world where 17% of all electricity is generated from wind
and solar and where 93% of all new capacity added to the grid is
from renewables, it can be easy to forget that countries got
their first wind and solar resources within just the last few
years. 


And in fact, some countries are still waiting for their
first. 


Today on Cleaning Up, we’re joined by Daniel Calderon, Founder
and Managing Partner of Alcazar Energy Partners. Daniel has made
it a specialty of going into countries overlooked by others,
building their first wind and solar farms, and as he explains,
doing it profitably.
