Financial
Times. "The UK offshore wind
industry is heavily dependant on banks for project finance. This is not always
easy in an inmature industry where the risks are often deemed complex and big.
But now bank finance is not as easy as it was. 'Project finance is tight', says
John Wood, a partner at the Norton Rose law firm. Traditionally, on
project finance you would get a 15-yeaer repayment schedule for your debt. This
has fallen to six or seven years, wich adds pressure when it is time to
refinance. At the end of 2011, the UK had 636 turbines in 18 wind
farms, accounting for more than 2 gigawatts of installed capacity -- the Saudi
Arabia of offshore wind". Pilita Clark: "Financing woes pose a threat to 2020
target date", FT, June 4, 2012.
