* According to the source, the largest group of respondents (37 percent) represented companies that operate renewable energy plants; a further 20 percent represented firms that distribute and sell power. In addition to conducting the survey, the Economist Intelligence Unit interviewed 15 renewable energy executives and other experts on the risks inherent in owning and operating renewable energy projects. This paper is based on the results of the survey, and on the insights from the in-depth interviews.
