Ross was on the Taskforce, ensuring that the voice and requirements of investors was paramount at all times. His interest is ensuring that targets are fundable and that investment risks are reduced as much as possible.Ross talks about the investment market and the attraction of solar to his investors. He discusses the role of Contracts for Difference, which is the Government mechanism for support in the sector and why investors are looking for quality developments that are reliable and perform as designed.
