In this discussion, we expect to consider the following questions:
What does ‘equity release’ mean in the context of large renewables (50MW-plus)?
Why would owners look at this rather than tried and tested structures?
In which European countries is this gaining traction? Is that set to grow?
What are the potential risks for project owners and would-be investors?
Would this help open renewables to new investor types? Is that needed?
