In this discussion, we expect to consider the following questions:

• What does ‘equity release’ mean in the context of large renewables (50MW-plus)?
• Why would owners look at this rather than tried and tested structures?
• In which European countries is this gaining traction? Is that set to grow?
• What are the potential risks for project owners and would-be investors?
• Would this help open renewables to new investor types? Is that needed?
