Schroders Greencoat LLP

James Samworth, Partner and Head of Schroders Greencoat's Energy Transition team, recently spoke with Infrastructure Investor to discuss the evolving landscape of hydrogen investment. Highlighting the transition from early-stage enthusiasm to tangible opportunities, he emphasises green hydrogen's role in complementing other storage technologies like batteries and pumped storage hydro power.    At Schroders Greencoat, we're committed to advancing the UK's green hydrogen sector. Through our joint venture with Carlton Power Limited, Green Hydrogen Energy Company Ltd (GHECO), we're aiming to develop a 500 MW portfolio of green hydrogen projects by 2030.    Our projects in Trafford, Barrow-in-Furness, and Langage have been awarded contracts by the UK Government, marking a significant contribution towards the UK’s hydrogen targets.   Read the full piece below: https://lnkd.in/dvHhuDzF   #EnergyTransition #GreenHydrogen #InfrastructureInvestment

We’re delighted to announce the acquisition of Stokeford Solar Farm, a 28.5MWp solar farm in Dorset, from Innova . This is the fourth transaction we’ve made from Innova’s development pipeline, and the latest in our successful partnership.   With the UK government targeting 70GW of solar capacity on the grid by 2035, assets like Stokeford are an essential part of meeting the country’s long-term renewables goals. Energised earlier this summer, the farm will start contributing immediately to delivering long-term, inflation linked returns.   You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/euVtB5hB   #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition

It was a pleasure to participate in the event PUENTE and The Economist Impact held last week in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The theme of the forum, which included food security, energy sustainability, adoption of artificial intelligence technologies and infrastructure is aligned with our approach, allowing for a productive discussion between Schroders' Coen Weddepohl and leaders of the region on the challenges and opportunities facing the Southern Cone in an ever-changing international landscape.

We are pleased to see our recent feature in ICAEW’s latest Corporate Financier Magazine, where Lee Moscovitch, partner at Schroders Greencoat, spoke with Jason Sinclair and Marc Mullen on the acquisition of Toucan Energy.    Since the acquisition in January, our teams have been focused on ensuring the long-term financial stability for these assets on behalf of our investors, while they continue to contribute to the reliable generation of clean energy across the UK.   Read the full piece here. https://lnkd.in/ecUAHTHv   #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #RenewableInfrastructure #EnergyTransition 

Honoured to host the UK Government’s Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero at a Schroders Greencoat LLP managed solar site! We were thrilled to welcome The Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP, the Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, to Tiln Farm, one of our most recent solar and battery storage acquisitions (see press release below). It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the assets we manage on behalf of our investors, and discuss the future of investment in the sector. The Secretary of State for Energy expressed great enthusiasm for solar and stressed how important sites like Tiln Farm are in providing greater national energy security and helping with the cost of energy - we are greatly encouraged by the Labour government's continued support for renewable energy initiatives. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Secretary of State for taking the time to visit our solar site and for their commitment to promoting clean energy solutions. #RenewableEnergy #Infrastructure #SustainableInvestment #SecureIncome #SolarPower #SecretaryOfStateVisit #cleanenergysuperpowermission Matthew Yard / Lee Moscovitch / James Louca / Robert Epstein / Lightsource bp
