The Energy & Utility Forum's Funding Renewables Conference brought together the two sides to renewables generation – developers and investors – to enable them to provide answers to each other.
Developers want to know whether they can fund their projects and the sorts of investment, or partnership and returns, they should be looking at and whether their funders will be banks, equity houses or institutional lenders or whether they should look to sell to one of the utilities. Funders have different questions. They are actively seeking investment opportunities with 'reasonable' risks and good returns in the short and medium term: they come from a wide spectrum and their interests and concerns are quite different and range from partnerships to acquisition, to returns on investment. On the one hand developers say there are no funds in the market, on the other funders say there is a dearth of projects.
