History
The company was established in March 2014.[2] Foresight Group took over responsibility for managing the fund from John Laing Capital Management in June 2019.[4] In August 2024, the company launched a £20m share buyback programme.[5] Because the shares were trading at a significant discount to asset value, the company proposed holding a vote on discontinuation at its annual general meeting in September 2024.[6]
The company changed its name to Foresight Environmental Infrastructure in September 2024.[7]
Operations
The company invests in wind farms, and solar energy farms and also has a portfolio of anaerobic digestion projects,[8] as well as several green hydrogen projects,[9] and energy storage projects.[10]
