Are there any caveats regarding construction of the Sigma plant?
Now that the Beta plant has started production, any caveats are of a financial rather than a technical nature. The decision to invest in the Sigma plant depends on secure long-term industrial policy conditions in Germany. The key element in the critical path is the lack of a reliable planning basis for investors beyond the year 2015. CHOREN will put together a broader basis to finance the investments for the construction of the Sigma plant. That involves both bringing in further co-investors and procuring outside capital, partly secured by guarantees.
