Frequently Asked Questions
-
Being a renewable energy business, Greencoat UK Wind is bound to the same pricing restrictions by the regulator Ofgem. As such, it holds no pricing power over its product. And if price caps are lowered, it will directly impact the group’s profitability, given the fixed-cost nature of the business.
However, with demand for green electricity continuing to rise thanks to the growing popularity of electric vehicles, the firm’s wind farm assets have been steadily increasing in value. And when pairing this with a 96% operating profit margin, pressure from regulators may be negligible.
Regardless, investors need to consider all the risks before committing to an investment decision.
