Renewables are weird in that most of the cost is up front. So a developer goes into debt and then uses an agreed price to pay off that debt over the lifetime of the site. But the marginal cost of the power generated is very low. So effectively the public are paying the developers mortgage, but never get to own the asset they are funding.
