Energy Yield Review

The movement in NAV was primarily the result of a revision to energy yield estimates across the Company’s portfolio. The Board and the Investment Manager periodically review the portfolio’s energy yield estimates (P50), and decided to harmonise the data set used in long term wind speed correlation in conjunction with an expert third party. This has also added a number of recent years to the correlation data with lower than long term average UK wind speeds and this serves to bring the long term average down.

As a result, the long term generation forecast is expected to be 2.4% lower, with a resulting NAV decrease of 6.5 pence per share.

Since IPO, the Company has delivered 1.8x dividend cover and, with its revised generating budget, remains on course to generate (on average) dividend cover of 1.9x over the next 5 years.  This would deliver over £1 billion in excess cashflow over the next 5 years for allocation to the advantage of its shareholders.
