Guernsey-Domiciled Cleantech Funds Prepare Flotations

Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Fiona Le Poidevin spoke to Jessica Mills-Davies of Clean Energy Pipeline about Guernsey's expertise in cleantech funds.

Several new listings of Guernsey-domiciled funds are on the horizon as the public markets gain popularity as a means to raise finance quickly amid the harsh capital-raising environment in Europe, Fiona Le Poidevin, Chief Executive of fiduciary agency Guernsey Finance, told Clean Energy Pipeline.

The £260 million listing of the Greencoat UK Wind fund in March paved the way for UK clean energy funds to list on the public markets as a way to gain access to capital quickly.

"The success of [Greencoat] has meant others have followed in fairly quick succession," said Le Poidevin. "It's really opening it up to as wide a capital market as possible."
