What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer? The key risk factors relating to the Group are: * if at any point the UK Government were to withdraw, reduce or change its support for renewable energy, including generation of electricity from wind, this may have a material adverse effect on the support of national or international authorities in respect of the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, including wind generation. If this reduces the value of the government subsidies that wind energy generators are entitled to, it may have a material adverse effect on the Group if applied retrospectively to current operating projects including those in the Portfolio. In addition, unexpected success in other areas of renewable energy (such as renewable heat) may reduce pressure on national governments to develop renewable electricity generation. This may affect the Company’s future investment opportunities; * a change of UK Government, or change in UK Government direction regarding renewable energy, could lead to future unfavourable renewable energy policies. Unfavourable renewable energy policies if applied retrospectively to current operating projects, including those in the Portfolio, could adversely impact the market price for renewable energy or the government subsidies earned from generating renewable energy; * a decline in the market price of electricity from the levels anticipated by the Company could materially adversely affect the Group’s revenues and financial condition.
