Sian CrampsieGUEST
Well, I think at the moment, the main concern among investors and then, of course, the supply chain are mainly around upcoming regulatory changes.

Sian CrampsieGUEST
So, of course, in Germany, the government has published recently draft update EEG regulations that kind of govern the whole of the onshore renewable sector and then they put forward also a proposed grid package.

Sian CrampsieGUEST
The EEG, my main objective is bringing in a new CFD support mechanism and then the grid package will mean quite a few other changes, a lot of regulatory changes around how the grid is used, so that will affect asset owners and particularly concern things like key dispatch.

Sian CrampsieGUEST
So the problem with those at the moment is that developers aren't really sure exactly how these proposals will look in practice when they come in.

Sian CrampsieGUEST
They don't know exactly how they'll be implemented, but what they've told me is they're pretty sure that these changes will change the business case for onshore wind.

Stephen DunneHOST
How have these new turbine variants gone down and what will they mean for developers?
