I am encouraged by this piece of news. it is movement in the right direction.
however, as a renewables focused company in the middle of a fund raising, i have seen across the part of the institutional investment community with which I have come into contact precious little evidence of this trend in practice. This might be tactical, in that nobody is inclined to acknowledge the tangible portfolio benefits that renewables bring – little else in a partfolio is positively exposed to the future price of carbon.
We will see how competitive tension will work on that in due course.
But mostly this community needs to get familiar with developments in Offshore Wind in the North Sea. This is a massive, massive opportunity to put money to work.
