An increase of up to 100% of the value of the sub-funds would take the sub-fund values up to a maximum amount of £120m for Evergreen and £120m for Evergreen 2; and £60m for Low Carbon
(b) the reallocation of available funds between the Evergreen 2 and Low Carbon sub-funds (as appropriate) based on factors impacting the performance of the relevant sub-fund including, but not limited to, the successful Tenderer's performance and/or available pipeline.
