Key messages 1: Support mechanism

Feed-in-Tariff is the most attractive support mechanism

International Tender: Discontinuous market development Transparency?

Quota-System: High risks lead to high financing costs

Page 7: How to attract Wind-Investments in Emerging Markets  – a project developers point of view

Key messages 2: Non-financial aspects

Very attractive for project developers:Legal securityTransparency Low risk of unforeseen changesKnown duration of the approval process

“one-stop-shop” – don’t do it! Lack of Transparency Additional administrative barrier

Local content requirements: Challenging for investors (even with bonus!)

Key messages 3: Grid access and power dispatch

A guaranteed grid access and power dispatch is an attractive framework condition.

??

No guarantee for grid access and power dispatch is very challenging for an investor.
