OFGEM ANNOUNCEMENT ON MORAY EAST OFTO INVESTMENT
20 December 2023
International Public Partnerships Limited, the listed infrastructure
investment company ('the Company', 'INPP'), notes that Ofgem, as anticipated,
published a notice under Section 8A of the Electricity Act 1989 on 20 December
2023 relating to the Moray East Offshore Transmission project ('OFTO') 1 .
This is a key step towards reaching financial close on the investment that the
Company expects to make in the project. The Company expects to invest up to
c.£85 million into the project upon financial close, anticipated to be in
February 2024.
The Moray East OFTO relates to the offshore electricity transmission assets
connecting to the Moray East wind farm located in the Moray Firth off the
coast of Scotland.
This investment will represent the Company's eleventh OFTO investment and will
further increase the Company's contribution to the UK's transition to a net
zero carbon economy. The Moray East OFTO has the capacity to transmit
sufficient renewable electricity to power the equivalent of c.1.0 million
homes, increasing the total equivalent across the Company's OFTO portfolio to
c.3.7 million homes.
At financial close, the OFTO will be granted a 23-year revenue period during
which it will have no exposure to electricity production or price but will be
paid an availability-based revenue stream linked to UK inflation (as measured
by the Retail Price Index).
ENDS.
