Session description

Offshore wind energy is particularly affected by the financial crisis. The volume of debt and the debt to equity relation, as a reflection of the sector specific risks, constitute a unique challenge for the key market players. Recent deals and experiences in the operation of offshore wind farms show the way into a new dimension of project and balance-sheet financing. The session will offer an in-depth look into the subject matter by some of the leading actors in the field. Can sufficient financial resources be mobilised, reflecting the ambitious EU targets related to fighting climate change and the specific contribution offshore wind has to offer?
