Pip,
I have had the same doubts!
I went back to the beginning to make sense of it all.
When the company started, in the early days, they set out to pay out a percentage of the NAV every year.
As the NAV depends on so many factors and the UK revenue was lower than they planned a.d the income was not high enough to cover the payments, all shouted unsustainable.
We then had various events that meant BESS based UK only ITs ran into problems.
Many cut/reduced/suspended their divis thought not GSF.
That was a red rag to a bull and many wealth managers who had bought these as a reliable income play panicked and sold.
Many in the sector were struggling.
GSF was expanding. Many thought they could not make it. More pressure.
The company responded by reducing payment from 7.5p/yr to 7p and not linked to NAV but linked to future income.
Then you get the ITC promise from Biden which the company took advantage of as they were building in the USA.
So, we come to the present. Planed capacity on target, Contracts in place earnings forecast to cover payouts,
Company assures us it is solvent and can meet its obligations. To ease that, they repaced 4 equal payments with 3 1p payments and a final payment of 4p if money is there.
Some of us accept this and others, as is their right, don't.
There you have it.
