Congratulations to Endeavour Energy (NSW) on achieving another five-star rating in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB)! We’re proud to see meaningful sustainability work being achieved across our investment portfolio. BCI invested in Endeavour Energy through our Infrastructure & Renewable Resources program in 2017.
A BRIGHTER, MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE: We’re thrilled to have achieved a five-star rating in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) for the fourth consecutive year, with our highest score yet of 98/100. This places us third among 11 electricity distribution companies globally and seventh out of 119 public-private partnerships, demonstrating continued improvement up from 17th last year. Welcoming the results, our Chief Data, People and Sustainability Officer Melissa Irwin said “Sustainability isn’t just a commitment, it’s sits at the heart of our organisational strategy to decarbonise the grid, and is integrated into everything we do.” Endeavour Energy (NSW) is committed to be net zero by 2040, zero waste to landfill by 2030 and nature positive by 2025. “By using the GRESB framework, we continually challenge ourselves to enhance sustainability practices while benchmarking our performance against utilities across the world,” Mel said. “The results of this year’s GRESB Assessments are a testament to the positive impact our focus on sustainability is having in paving the way for a brighter future for our customers and communities.” Read the full story >> https://lnkd.in/gQGRAjDP A huge thank you to our teams and partners for their invaluable contributions to this achievement!

BCI is proud to be an investor in Eku Energy as it expands its operations and reaches new markets. Most recently, Eku launched its first commercial energy storage project in the United Kingdom: the Maldon Battery Energy Storage System in Essex. This project will add resilience to UK Power Networks and support the integration of more renewable energy. BCI first invested in Eku in 2023 through our Infrastructure & Renewable Resources program. The company is playing an important role in decarbonizing electricity grids worldwide.
Exciting news from Eku Energy! We've successfully commissioned the Maldon Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Essex, our first UK project to reach commercial operation. Strategically located near London, the Maldon BESS, constructed by Trina Storage and supported by leading independent connection provider (ICP), ESM Power Ltd, boasts a capacity of 40MW/40MWh. This project provides flexibility and resilience to UK Power Networks and supports the integration of more renewable energy. As we celebrate this milestone, we're continuing to grow our footprint and help the UK achieve its Net Zero goals.
