("FGEN" or the "Company")
Battery Portfolio Update
FGEN, a leading investor in private environmental infrastructure assets across the UK and mainland Europe, announces that it has exchanged contracts for the sale of its 50% equity stake in Lunanhead, a 50MW lithium-ion battery energy storage ("BESS") development project located in Perthshire, Scotland, and is pleased to confirm that its Sandridge BESS project in Wiltshire has now been energised.
Lunanhead was jointly owned with Foresight Solar Fund and has been sold to a third-party buyer at a value consistent with the asset's carrying value as at 30 June 2025, which represents less than 0.2% of the Company's total portfolio value. The deal is expected to complete later this quarter.
Per the Company's capital allocation strategy, the Board and the Investment Manager have assessed developing the investment against alternative capital uses, including the potential returns of share buybacks or debt repayment and concluded that a sale would represent the best outcome for shareholders. As previously reported, the Investment Manager continues to explore options for Clayfords BESS in which the Company also holds a 50% stake.
Sandridge is now entering its final commissioning and testing phase, with commercial operations anticipated shortly thereafter. Sandridge will become FGEN's second operational BESS project, joining West Gourdie in enabling the integration of renewable energy sources while enhancing grid stability and supporting cost savings to consumers and businesses.
