Foresight Solar Fund (FSFL) (LSE:FSFL) Fund Manager Ross Driver speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after announcing the sale of a 50% stake in the fund's Lorca portfolio in #Spain, in a deal worth €26.9 million. Driver explains that the sale is part of a broader capital recycling program and is part of FSFL's response to changing market dynamics, showcasing its ability to self-fund and recycle capital during essentially closed equity markets. The divestment in Spain, offering a high-quality portfolio, comes with plans to reinvest in new projects from FSFL's half-a-gigawatt pipeline. Driver emphasises the fund's proactive approach, balancing debt reduction, shareholder value with a doubled share buyback program, and strategic expansion into #solar and battery projects in Spain and other European markets. #ForesightSolarFund is an international #investor in large-scale solar projects and #batterystorage, currently managing over 61 projects spanning the UK, Spain, and Australia.

Following last week's net asset value (NAV) and divestment announcements, Ross Driver, Fund Manager for Foresight Solar, caught up with Proactive to discuss the sale of a 50% stake in our Lorca portfolio in Spain and the Q3 NAV. The deal with EB – Sustainable Investment Management (EB-SIM) delivered the first step in the fund’s phased divestment programme. It also marked a milestone for Foresight Solar as the first sale of an asset in our 10-year history. The 21% premium to the portfolio’s Q3 holding value represented an exit IRR of 12.1% on funds invested to date in the stake sold and generated almost €27 million that will be used to pay down debt. In conversation with Thomas Warner, Ross also delved into Foresight Solar’s operational performance, which has led to record cash generation this year - allowing FSFL to double its share buyback programme to £40 million.
