Renewables Infrastructure Group Buys U.K. Solar Power Plant

(Bloomberg) — The Renewables Infrastructure Group Ltd., a
London-based clean energy fund, bought a solar power plant in
southwest England for 8.6 million pounds ($12.8 million).

The 7.2-megawatt project near Truro in Cornwall started
working in January and it has a 25-year life, TRIG said Monday
in an e-mailed statement. The acquisition takes TRIG’s portfolio
to 30 projects totaling about 446 megawatts of capacity, it
said.

“With a strong base of 30 fully operational onshore wind
and solar photovoltaic projects in the U.K., Ireland and France,
TRIG is well-positioned to provide investors with the benefits
of further scale and diversification through judicious portfolio
acquisitions in our markets of focus,” said Richard Crawford, a
partner at InfraRed Capital Partners Ltd., TRIG’s investment
manager.

TRIG raised 300 million pounds in July 2013 to invest in
solar and onshore wind in the U.K., France and Ireland.
