———-

TRIG announces the acquisition of Four Burrows, an operational solar park near Truro, Cornwall for a cash consideration of approximately £8.6 million plus working capital. TRIG has acquired an 100% interest in the site which has an approximate generating capacity of 7.2 MW.

The vendor and developer of the project is Renewable Energy Systems (RES), TRIG’s Operations Manager.  The transaction, acquired under TRIG’s Right of First Offer Agreement with RES, has been approved by TRIG’s Investment Committee (comprised wholly of senior members of InfraRed Capital Partners, the Company’s Investment Manager).

The project uses Renesola PV panels and has been operational since January 2015. It has a 25-year operational life.  The acquisition price is subject to adjustment should the project not qualify as expected for accreditation under the UK’s 1.4 ROC per MWh renewables support mechanism. Operations and maintenance services are provided by Oskomera Solar Power Solutions, with a long-term power purchase agreement in place with an investment grade UK utility. The acquisition of Four Burrows was funded by a draw-down under the Group’s £120 million revolving acquisition facility.  The acquired project has no third party debt.
