But all acknowledge they will need to work harder than ever, not least to convince investors they are well-equipped to handle the sector’s changing risk profile.

Taaleri Energia, together with its partners Masdar, DEG and Finnfund, were announced as the winners of the IJ Global European Onshore Wind Transaction of the Year at a black tie event at the Natural History Museum in London on the 22nd March.
