It will be connected to Southern Electric Power Distribution’s network and have a 49.9MW import and export connection.

Foresight continues to focus on fixed revenue streams as it eyes battery storage

Published: 9 Mar 2021, 12:17 By: Image: Andreas Gucklhorn (Unsplash). Foresight Solar Fund has confirmed its continued focus on fixed revenue streams as the impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt. Low power prices during Q2 of 2020 continued to affect Foresight, as lockdown in the UK caused demand to fall to a record low, in turn driving down prices. In May, prices reached close to £22/MWh as primary electricity demand decreased up to 10% below the previous year for periods from March until June. This had an impact on the company’s Net Asset Value (NAV) of 13.1 pence per share. However, the company made a strategic decision to maintain a high portion of fixed revenues linked to government subsidies and fixed price arrangements in the short and medium term. This helped manage the impact of the fall in price in the merchant markets in the first half of the year.
