June 2 2021
Charmaine Coutinho
It feels like we are starting 2021 with some cautious optimism – perhaps not as much as we would have liked, but I for one, am upbeat. Whilst Covid-19 continues in waves, there remains much to be positive about for us in the new energy sector. Governments and companies have all taken steps or reported...

July 2 2018
Charmaine Coutinho
The German football team is out of the World Cup. Was it what you expected? Unlikely. Had you predicted this would happen based on the players selected, Joachim Löw’s ability to coach, or the huge investments made to secure a top-tier national squad? Probably not.
