Sub-sections
  • Gore Street Energy Storage Fund, is seeking to raise up to £60m, to buy new energy storage projects, following on from fellow battery fund Gresham House that priced a deal last week.
  • Felix Fletcher has joined Investec’s power and infrastructure finance team as a senior coverage banker, originating for lending and advisory business across the group.
  • Three of France’s best known entrepreneurs have partnered up to launch a special purpose acquisition vehicle (Spac) on the French stock exchange, which is seeking to invest in organic and sustainable consumer goods. The deal has made a fast start on its first day of book building.
  • There is every reason to be sceptical of the UK’s plan for a national infrastructure bank. Infrastructure is hard to finance because governments are unreliable. Combining hard assets expected to pay back over 30 years with democratic governments that change course every few makes private investors reluctant to treat long-term infra projects as a pure matter of credit risk.

  • A new UK national infrastructure bank, announced by the government on Wednesday, is set to be up and running quickly, although details remain thin on the ground. While framed around infrastructure, a big part of its mandate could relate to the country's net zero carbon plans.
