Investment Objective

Investment Policy

The Company's aim is to provide investors with an annual dividend that increases in line with RPI inflation (7.72p with respect to 2022) while preserving the capital value of its investment portfolio in the long term on a real basis through reinvestment of excess cash flow.

The substantial majority of the portfolio will be operating UK wind farms. The Company intends to maintain a balanced exposure to power prices. The Company will generally avoid using non-recourse debt at wind farm level; Aggregate Group Debt will not exceed 40% of GAV at drawdown.
