Recently, the BVCA launched the second edition of Creating Sustainable Growth: Private Capital at Work report to reflect on the progress of the #privatecapital industry in terms of #sustainability, exploring #decarbonisation, #cybersecurity and #biodiversity. On average, UK businesses backed by BVCA members acquire circa 29% of used energy from renewable sources, suggesting there is still room for improvement. Private capital firms are progressively working with portfolio companies to implement efficient emission tracking systems and transition to renewable energy sources. A successful example of this is Hawksmoor, backed by Graphite Capital Management which has become the world’s first carbon-neutral steak restaurant group. Hawksmoor has successfully switched to renewable energy for all their UK sites, reducing their carbon emissions by 23% in just one year. Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/3u6iNBN

The pivotal role IPPs play in reshaping our #energy landscape – Viewpoint of Martina Dabo, Head of Asset Management IPP at BayWa r.e.  The green energy movement is gaining momentum and Independent Power Producers (IPPs) offer a unique route to supercharging the availability of affordable green electricity. 💡 Benefits of IPPs: From project development to local grid integration and operation, IPPs commit to the longevity of renewable projects, building strong relationships with local communities and stakeholders. By lowering barriers, they bring diversity and competition to the market, ensuring reliability and driving down green electricity prices. 🔄 Balancing Act: Building a successful #IPP portfolio involves balancing technical, economic, and sustainability factors. Implementing utility-scale projects with various technologies like wind, PV, and storage, IPPs strive for harmony with the environment, minimizing impact and promoting biodiversity. 💪 Challenges & Opportunities: IPPs face grid connection challenges such as high charges, poor availability, and a lack of robustness. Permitting and administration of new projects also create barriers. However, addressing these issues through increased digitization, recognized standards, and government commitments will unlock the potential of IPPs. 🌐 Looking Forward: Martina anticipates continued growth for IPPs in 2024 and beyond, offering a unique route to affordable #greenelectricity. Overcoming challenges will require public awareness, streamlined regulations, and long-term and sustainable investments in people and technology.
