Foresight's infrastructure team was one of the first institutional investors in the solar sector where we have been investing since 2008.

In the UK, the infrastructure team has now broadened its activities to include other infrastructure, such as acquiring secondary PFI projects and also lending to such projects During 2011 Foresight launched the Foresight Infrastructure VCT shares seeking to raise £30m from private investors and in January 2012 launched an Inheritance Tax Solution also focused on infrastructure assets.

The multinational team, with its deep knowledge of energy markets and regulatory environments, operates from offices in the UK, Italy and Spain, investing in a variety of infrastructure projects in each country. The team has developed a sector specific network of advisors, lending banks and key strategic partners. These relationships generate an international pipeline of construction stage opportunities and operational projects.

Foresight's solar infrastructure funds, including accounts managed on behalf of institutions and family offices, invest in: operating solar ground-mounted plants and ground-mounted plants under construction. Project sizes range from £5 million to £50 million which are typically financed with equity from Foresight and project finance facilities from banks, reflecting the low risk nature of the operating plants and local government subsidies. Such infrastructure investments offer the potential for long term, stable sustainable income and the potential for capital appreciation on ultimate realisation.

If you have an investment opportunity in the sector please contact one of the team.
