Portfolio Update
DIF Invests GBP200m in Battery Storage Counterparty
Triple Point Energy Transition plc (ticker: TENT), the London
Stock Exchange listed investment company focused on building a
portfolio of infrastructure investments that support the energy
transition, is pleased to announce that Virmati Energy Ltd (trading
as "Field"), a battery storage counterparty, to whom the Group
committed a GBP45.6m debt facility in March 2022, has raised a
GBP200m equity investment from DIF Capital Partners (via its DIF
Infrastructure VII Fund) ("DIF").
This investment will enable Field to significantly scale its
fleet of Battery Energy Storage System ("BESS") assets, as well as
enhance its in-house development and operational capabilities, thus
improving its ability to deliver greater value as a part of TENT's
portfolio.
DIF is an independent infrastructure equity fund manager
established in 2005 currently controlling more than EUR15 billion
of investments.
John Roberts, Chairman of TENT, said:
"We are delighted to see further significant institutional
capital follow us by investing in Field. Field's extensive pipeline
of assets and strong in-house expertise were a clear attraction
when TENT committed its capital in 2022 and we expect the
investment by DIF to further enhance both Field's capabilities in
deploying BESS and its available financial resources.
With the portfolio's second BESS asset at Gerrards Cross due to
commence operations later this year, we are looking forward to
continuing to work closely with Field on this critical asset class
that plays such a key role in enabling renewable generation."
