"I am delighted to be part of this year's Finance Forum. Once again, EWEA is providing conference delegates with a series of high-quality sessions designed to give an insight into the forthcoming challenges and trends in the complex world of international finance, and how they will affect the wind energy sector."
Mortimer Menzel, Partner, Augusta & Co
"A crucial issue for the wind energy sector is the question of where the money is coming from? The Finance Forum at EWEA 2011 will bring finance experts and wind energy professionals together to explore the latest financing issues affecting the development of both onshore and offshore wind, as well as the supply chain."
Andrew Perkins, Partner, Ernst & Young
"In 2010, we saw for the first time non-OECD countries driving the growth of the industry. What impact does that have on its financing? As the industry becomes truly global, and projects that continue to grow in scale, the challenges are mounting for financiers, who are still recovering from the financial crisis. The 2011 edition of the Finance Forum will discuss how best to deal with these new challenges."
