FGEN’s wind portfolio contains mature assets with established counterparties. As intermittent generators, we seek to fix a higher proportion of merchant power revenues than for baseload and Renewable Energy Certificates (“ROCs”) earned by the wind farms also provide an attractive RPI-linked revenue stream for investors.
