£77.3m acquisition of a large operational rooftop solar portfolio

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of a large operational rooftop solar portfolio for £77.3m through a share purchase agreement. 

The portfolio comprises 34MW of solar PV systems situated on c. 9,500 residential rooftops across the UK. The portfolio benefits from payments pursuant to the government’s feed-in-tariff (“FIT”) scheme, payable directly to the Company by the respective utility companies. 

The Company and Atrato Group believe this portfolio to be a highly accretive addition to the Company’s portfolio of solar assets due to its attractive return profile, with revenue streams underpinned by the government and 100% uncapped RPI inflation linkage. 

The portfolio is expected to generate 30GWh of clean energy annually, saving 5,800 tonnes CO2 emissions per annum, equivalent to planting 230,000 trees.
