   Foresight Solar Fund Limited ("the Company") is pleased to announce that 
the 17.8MW Castle Eaton (Swindon SPV), the 12.2MW Highfields (Chelmsford 
SPV) and the 9.6MW High Penn (Calne SPV) assets are each now grid 
connected and producing electricity. 
 
   All three plants were identified in the Company's IPO Prospectus as part 
of the "Committed Portfolio" with legally binding contracts in place for 
their acquisition subject to certain conditions being met by the 
developer of the plants. These included the plants being built to the 
required standard and their successful connections to the grid. 
 
   All three plants have been acquired from SunEdison. They were acquired 
for considerations of GBP22.6m, GBP15.8m and GBP12.6m respectively. 
 
   At IPO, the Company's GBP150 million funds were fully allocated to a 
"Committed Portfolio" of large scale UK solar assets which included a 
total of 55MW to be acquired from SunEdison. The 32MW Wymeswold plant 
has been operational and accruing revenues for the Company since 
November 2013. 
 
   The Company continues to confirm its intent to deliver a target dividend 
of 6p per ordinary share in respect of its first financial year, rising 
annually with RPI thereafter, and enabling the Company to support its 
strategy to sustain the NAV, offering the potential for further capital 
growth. 
 
   Further announcements are expected shortly.
