CONSORTIUM AWARDED PREFERRED BIDDER FOR EIGHTH OFTO PROJECT
30 August 2019
International Public Partnerships Limited ('the Company',
'INPP'), the listed infrastructure investment company, is pleased
that Transmission Capital Partners, the consortium comprising INPP,
Amber Infrastructure and Transmission Investment has been appointed
as preferred bidder for the long-term license and operation of a
further offshore transmission project ('OFTO').
The latest scheme, comprising the transmission cable connection
to Rampion Offshore Wind Farm represents the eighth such project
that Transmission Capital Partners has been appointed to, as
preferred bidder. The Company expects to invest c.GBP35-45 million,
with financial close estimated in the first half year of 2020.
The project relates to the transmission cable connection to the
offshore wind farm located 13km off the Sussex coast. The wind farm
consists of 116 x 3.45MW wind turbine generators with an installed
capacity of 400MW connected to the offshore substation platform
(OSP) located within the boundaries of the Rampion wind farm.
This investment will increase the Company's contribution to the
UK's transition to a zero carbon economy. Rampion OFTO will
transmit green electricity equivalent to around 350,000 UK homes,
increasing the number of homes that are powered by the Company's
OFTO portfolio to approximately 1.6 million homes.
The Company takes no exposure to electricity production or price
risk but is paid a pre-agreed, availability-based revenue stream
over 20 years which is fully linked to UK inflation ('RPI').
The offshore wind farm connected by this transmission project is
owned by E.ON (50.1%), Green Investment Group (25%) and Enbridge
(24.9%).
Additional information on the project will be realised on
financial close.
