Sosteneo enters transaction to acquire Sheaf Energy Park
Sosteneo SGR S.p.A. (“Sosteneo”), part of Generali Investments ecosystem, has entered into a transaction to acquire 100% of the holding company of Sheaf Energy Limited (“Sheaf Energy Park”) on behalf of clients from Pacific Green Technologies Inc, a global developer focused on renewable energy, energy storage systems, and emission control technologies (“Pacific Green”).
Sheaf Energy Park is a 249MW / 373.5MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project located in Kent, United Kingdom.
The transaction represents Sosteneo’s third BESS investment after acquiring the neighbouring Richborough Energy Park in June and the Koorangie battery project in Australia earlier this month. The total capacity of BESS projects under Sosteneo’s management now exceeds 840MWh.
Umberto Tamburrino, Managing Partner, CEO and CIO Europe at Sosteneo, commented: “Battery energy storage capacity is essential for the transition to a clean energy future. Sheaf Energy Park represents critical infrastructure that supports the growth of renewable energy in the UK whilst benefitting from a long-term capacity agreement that provides our clients with stable cash flows. The acquisition marks another important addition to our growing portfolio of energy storage projects, a technology where Sosteneo is establishing itself globally as one of the leading investors.”
Sosteneo was supported in this transaction by Alexa Capital, PwC, Ashurst and GHD.
