Income Based Returns

We aim to provide our shareholders with attractive income through the payment of quarterly dividends. The Company’s dividend target for 2025 is 7.55p per share. We have a strong dividend and total return track-record, as reflected by our annualised NAV total return of 7.6% since our IPO in 2013 to 31 December 2024.

The company gives dividend guidance for the forthcoming year when announcing its annual results (usually each February). In considering the target dividend for future years the Board will consider the prospects for the Company including prevailing levels of inflation, wholesale power price outlook and other factors impacting on the Company’s expected cash generation.

There is the potential for capital value upside supported by reinvestment of surplus cash flows available from the diversified portfolio after the payment of dividends.

Diversified Portfolio

We are invested in a diversified portfolio of wind farms, solar parks and battery storage projects across six different European countries (incl. UK), having the largest generating capacity of the London-listed renewables investment companies .

These assets receive revenues from a mixture of government support and electricity sales. The majority of our revenues come from government subsidies, mostly index linked, providing good revenue stability.

Portfolio diversity reduces risk of over-concentration in individual assets, power markets, regulatory frameworks and local weather patterns, improving the stability of returns to our shareholders.
