RNS Number : 6665S Renewables Infrastructure Grp (The) 12 February 2026
The Renewables Infrastructure Group Limited
"TRIG" or "the Company"
12 February 2026
TRIG secures £200m private debt placement
· Diversifying capital sources with a £200m placement with
high-quality, institutional lenders
· Proceeds reducing RCF borrowings to c. £200m, providing greater
capital allocation headroom
· Strong investor demand resulting in upsized issue vs initial
target of £150m
· Attractive fixed-rate interest rate of 5.23% (averaged across
Sterling and Euro tranches)
· 12-year term and amortisation schedule aligns with TRIG's fixed
revenue profile
The Board of TRIG, a London-listed renewables investment company advised by
InfraRed Capital Partners ("InfraRed") as Investment Manager and Renewable
Energy Systems ("RES") as Operations Manager, announces the private placement
of £200m (the "Issue") of fixed-rate loan notes ("the Notes") with Sterling
and Euro tranches by its corporate subsidiary, The Renewables Infrastructure
Group (UK) Investments Limited.
Minesh Shah, Managing Director, said: "We are delighted with the strong
investor demand for TRIG's first private placement, which further diversifies
our sources of capital. The depth of interest from highly experienced lenders,
which is reflected in the upsizing of the issuance to £200m and the
attractive interest rate achieved, demonstrates the confidence in TRIG's
financial position, underlying portfolio quality and strategic direction. We
are pleased to achieve this milestone, which enhances our capital allocation
headroom and long-term growth prospects."
TRIG was able to upsize the issue to £200m, compared with an initial target
raise of £150m, and to secure more competitive pricing thanks to significant
over-subscription. The Notes are comprised of two tranches: £100m in Sterling
and €115m (£100m equivalent) in Euros, reflecting the diversified nature of
the underlying portfolio across the UK and Europe.
Proceeds of the Issue will be used to reduce the existing drawings under the
Group's £500m revolving credit facility ("RCF"), which amounted to £398m as
of 31 December 2025, to c. £200m. The Notes extend the Company's debt
maturity profile by converting the equivalent drawing on the RCF into a
longer, amortising tenor. With a weighted average interest rate of 5.23%, the
Notes also fix the all-in interest rate cost at a level consistent with that
currently payable on the RCF.
The Notes have a maturity date of February 2038 and amortise in equal
instalments of £20m every six months from August 2033 to February 2038
(inclusive). The maturity of the Notes aligns with TRIG's current fixed price
revenue forecast profile. The Managers are actively securing new power price
fixes to extend further the horizon of TRIG's fixed price revenues.
The Notes diversify further the Company's available capital sources in line
with the refreshed strategy set out by the Managers at the Capital Markets
Seminar in May 2025. The Board and Managers continue to maintain a
conservative approach to balance sheet management, focusing on further
reducing RCF drawings and with headroom to self-fund TRIG's development
pipeline from organic cash flows and debt capacity.
The Notes were purchased by an institutional investor group including Canada
Life, Pension Insurance Corporation, Legal & General, Swiss Re and Nomura
Asset Management (on behalf of clients).
