As of 31 December 2025 Greencoat UK Wind reports a net asset value of 133.5 pence per share and a total return for the year of -4.9%. The NAV is below the preliminary figure after subsidies were recalculated following RPI/CPI; the stock trades at 93.45 pence, a discount of 29.8%, prompting a continuation vote at the AGM. Key negatives were lower power prices (NAV -2.4%) and generation 8.5% below plan after weak wind; the average realised power price was £70/MWh versus the N2EX index at £80.7/MWh. Cash balances stood at £171m and gross debt at £2,126m (42.5% of gross assets); net inflows of £291m enabled dividend cover of 1.3x, with cover expected to be 1.7x for 2026, while further divestments and fixed-price contracts are planned. » More on de.investing.com
