Consideration of environmental, social and governance factors is essential to generate long term, stable returns. Learn how the Company manages these risks and maximises its positive impact on the environment and society.
Investment in renewable energy infrastructure has never been more attractive.
Not only does renewable infrastructure play a critical role in reducing carbon emissions, therefore contributing to a more sustainable future, it is proven to generate stable returns.
The Bluefield Group is uniquely positioned to maximise opportunity for Shareholders.
Made up of four separate, complementary businesses, the Bluefield Group has the expertise to be able to develop, invest, optimise and operate renewable energy assets over the long term.
“We are delighted to report on a further period of strong financial performance in this, the Company’s tenth year of operations. Over that decade, we have experienced significant changes in the emergence of renewables as an asset class and as a proportion of UK generation against a variety of backdrops in the investment environment. Solar and wind have grown from 8.5% to 28.8% of indigenous generation in this time. In this latest period of strong performance irradiation was above expectations, wind revenues outperformed our forecasts, we sold our electricity at record prices, our regulated revenues increased with inflation and our 129 solar PV plants performed well. Accordingly, we were able to increase total declared dividends for the period to 8.60pps (2022/23 8.20pps), ahead of our original target of 8.40pps.
My strong belief is that Bluefield Solar has a major role to play in the future of Britain’s rapidly changing electricity mix and your Board looks with confidence at the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
