The Financier:
With onshore wind energy increasingly recognised as a maturing asset class, how are corporate investors looking to become involved?

How can we encourage a greater, more uniform approach to wind energy investment?
Paul Battelle, Director, Infrastructure and Energy Finance, Deutsche Bank
The Corporate Investor:
How can corporate investment strategies allay a broader trend of decreasing European government support? How can and will these deals help ensure that projects remain financially viable in the future and how does European blue chip investment compare with activity in the US?
Marc Oman, Energy & Infrastructure, EMEA, Google

How can wind developers and investors benefit from the involvement of corporates in wind? Does it encourage policymakers to take wind more seriously? And what impact do these investments have on future innovation within what has become such a capital-intensive market?
