NextEnergy Capital
Founded in 2007, NextEnergy Capital (NEC) today is a leading global investment manager in the solar energy infrastructure sector.
NEC’s business activities focus on solar energy and complementary technologies, including energy storage, which we refer to as Solar+.
NEC has built a strong track record: investing in over 500 utility-scale solar projects from inception, as a combination of assets under development, construction, or operation, or which have been disposed, and over 650MWp in battery energy storage.
Installed capacity of solar and battery energy storage assets is in excess of 2GWp across the UK, Europe, North and South America and Asia.
NEC is the investment manager of one of the largest listed solar investment companies, NextEnergy Solar Fund (NESF), and the first international solar infrastructure investment vehicle, NextPower III ESG (NPIII).
It manages an additional two private equity ESG funds – NextPower UK (NPUK) and NextPower V ESG (NPV) – and sold an entire portfolio of operating solar projects owned by NextPower II in Italy in January 2022.
“As pioneers in the renewable energy space, we continue to grow our global solar portfolio, providing long-term value to our investors and making a lasting impact on the world.
By leveraging our deep sector expertise and innovative approach, we are able to deliver superior returns for investors while contributing to a low-carbon economy”.
