One of the largest portfolios of storage assets available to a financial investor, with a total capacity of 1.248 GW. The portfolio is based in GB, Ireland, North America and Western Europe, with the flexibility to pursue attractive opportunities internationally.

Pipeline

The utility scale battery market is relatively nascent worldwide, and the Adviser has been able to identify attractive opportunities in markets including the UK, Ireland, North America and Western Europe. The Adviser is among the first entrants into the market by being one of the first commercial players to be involved with the installation and commissioning of a project in England through the facility at Boulby. As a result, the Adviser has developed a market leading approach to investing in battery storage projects in the UK and international markets and has built up a significant and wide-ranging contact base within the energy storage industry.

Lithium-ion Batteries

Although the projects comprising the Seed Portfolio utilise lithium-ion batteries and much of the pipeline of investments identified by the Company are also expected to utilise lithium-ion batteries, the Company is generally agnostic about which technology it utilises in its energy storage projects. The Company does not presently see any energy storage technology which is a viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, there are a number of technologies which are being researched which if successfully commercialised, could prove over time more favourable and the Company will closely monitor such developing technologies.
