The company also has a focus on sustainability and takes into consideration environmental, social, and governance factors in its investment decisions. It has a dedicated sustainability committee and reports on its sustainability performance annually.
Financial performance

The company’s portfolio has a high availability rate and benefits from long-term revenue contracts, providing a stable income stream. As of December 2020, the company had a market capitalization of approximately £2.6 billion and a dividend yield of 6.6%.
Risks and challenges
Like any company, Greencoat UK Wind carries a number of risks and faces certain challenges in its business operations. Some of the key risks and challenges for the company include:
- Regulatory and policy changes: Changes in government policies and regulations could impact the company’s revenue and profitability.
- Wind resource variability: Variations in wind speeds can impact the amount of electricity generated by the company’s wind farms, which could affect its financial performance.
- Competition: The company operates in a competitive market and may face challenges in acquiring new projects or securing favorable contracts.
- Financing and interest rate risk: The company may be exposed to interest rate risk and could face challenges in refinancing its debt obligations at favorable rates.
- Operational risks: The company’s wind farms are subject to technical failures and other operational risks that could impact their performance and revenue generation.
Overall, while there are risks and challenges associated with its business, Greencoat UK Wind has a strong track record and a diversified portfolio that helps mitigate these risks.
