18 October 2021
IGas Energy plc (AIM: IGAS) ("IGas" or "the Company")
Agreement signed with Iona Capital (Iona) for solar farm
development
IGas announces that it has agreed a Heads of Terms (HoT) with
Iona, an investor with a long track record of successfully
investing in UK renewable energy projects.
Under the HoT, IGas and Iona will jointly develop utility scale
solar farms in the UK, initially leveraging the strong landowner
relationships that IGas has through its long history of onshore oil
and gas operations.
The first, of what is expected to be several similar scale
projects, will be situated in southern England and will be 25-40MW
in size. IGas will contribute its planning and infrastructure
expertise, whilst Iona will provide non-recourse project finance.
During the development phase, costs will be shared and throughout
the project lifecycle, IGas and Iona will each own 50% of the
project.
Commenting Stephen Bowler, IGas CEO, said:
"We are delighted to sign this agreement with Iona. This is
another example of how we can leverage the Group's existing
operational expertise as the UK's largest onshore operator and use
our existing business platform to play an important role in the
UK's transition to net zero.
We are keen to develop our relationship with Iona and other
partners as we seek to maximise value using existing assets and
skillsets within the business."
Nick Ross, Director of Iona Capital, added:
"Given our focus on renewable and environmental investments in
the UK over many years, the PV solar sector is a natural area for
us. We are very pleased to enter into this partnership with IGas,
given their extensive experience of energy project development in
the UK."
