"The Market Intelligence Report has proved invaluable in my role as a commercial analyst. It gives us visibility of the national wind development pipeline, which helps us with our planning and allows us to make informed decisions. It helps us model how the electricity system might develop and to spot opportunities. We can base our assessments off real projects in the planning system rather than abstract forecasts and targets."
