A great community update from Portsmouth Water on the construction of the Havant Thicket Reservoir. The reservoir - the first of its scale in the UK since the 1980s - has been designed with environmental and community benefits at the heart of the project. 💧

New investment update: Ancala has acquired a 50% stake in smart meter specialist HAUSHELD AG to support major smart meter rollouts in Germany.   Our investment and proactive support will provide the Hausheld team with additional funding and expertise to expand and deliver on its secured pipeline of more than 200,000 smart meter installations.   We are working alongside the management team, led by CEO Bouke Stoffelsma, as Hausheld seeks to deliver the rollout obligations of municipal utilities across the nation through its smart metering solution.    Bouke Stoffelsma, CEO of Hausheld comments: “Ancala’s support enables us to implement the smart meter rollout for municipal utilities with more than 100,000 metering points. Previously, we have served municipal utilities with 10,000 to 100,000 meters. Now we also extend our offer for the cost-effective solutions which fulfil all legal requirements to the larger municipal utilities. We’re looking forward to working with the Ancala team and customers to deliver these solutions going forwards.”   Tim Power, Partner at Ancala, adds: “Hausheld is a market-leading smart metering business with a unique delivery model that is already delivering on Germany’s ambitious metering targets. We could not be prouder to partner with Bouke and his team to take the company’s success to the next level. We are looking to provide significant capital to the business and to apply our experience of scaling similar platforms in our existing portfolio to help Hausheld build on its leading position in the market, accelerating the digitalisation of Germany’s grid.”   Ancala is excited to be increasing its role in enabling the energy transition in Germany through this investment.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/eMgwMt8n   #DeliveringInfrastructureDifferently #EnergyTransition #SmartMeters #Infrastructure

The Ancala football team fought valiantly to make it through to the quarter finals of the #MacquarieCapitalCup2024 last Friday, despite a very tough draw. The support of our sixth player - the dedicated Ancala fans - helped us through all our matches, but it wasn’t to be with a narrow loss in the quarter finals. Nearly £300k was raised to support Street League, a charity which specialises in changing the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds through the power of sport. We’ll be back next year to improve on our position. Watch this space!

We have added Elektrana Grubisno Polje, a 5MW green energy plant in Croatia, to our growing Central and Eastern European EU Renewables Platform.
