Initial capital commitment of up to £100m for AMPYR Distributed Energy to develop, fund, own and operate sustainable energy assets for business customers in the UK and Europe

LONDON, 16th January 2024 – AGP Sustainable Real Assets (“AGP”), the Singapore-headquartered infrastructure development and asset management group, today announced the launch of AMPYR Distributed Energy (“ADE”), a new business focussing on the development, ownership and operations of B2B energy infrastructure in Europe. ADE will simplify the transition to net zero for business customers through the addition of rooftop solar PV, energy efficiency, and energy storage solutions. Backed by a significant commitment from AGP, ADE will accelerate the flow of capital into distributed energy projects in the UK and Europe. It will provide innovative financing for business customers, delivering clean energy solutions with no upfront cost. The launch of ADE in Europe expands the existing AGP portfolio of energy transition businesses in Australia, Asia, and the USA. The creation of ADE builds on the success of OME Capital (“OME”) in establishing the initial platform with a highly experienced management team and a growing development pipeline across multiple target markets. ADE will be led by John Behan, founder of OME and CEO of newly formed ADE. Behan said, “OME was established to bring together an experienced management team, a material project pipeline and capital behind a clear distributed energy strategy. The launch of ADE demonstrates that plan in action and I’m excited to work with AGP. They’re a leader in the energy transition and understand the operational requirements to build and scale the platform.” The expansion of clean distributed energy solutions underpins commitments by the UK and EU governments to achieve Net Zero by 2050. Customer demand is being driven by energy price increases, sustainability mandates, new reporting requirements, and concerns about security of power supply. Behan added, “We know that businesses are struggling with the cost and complexity of decarbonisation. Our innovative funding solutions and energy expertise mean that we can make it simple – and profitable – for our customers to go green now.” Rajpal Chaudhary, AGP Partner, said, “The European market is forecast to be one of the largest distributed energy markets in the world within the next five years. Investors recognise the growth opportunity from distributed energy, as well as the strong regulatory tailwinds. This makes scalability in the sector achievable, with attractive opportunities for investors to deploy material capital. Leaning on our experience and expertise in similar businesses in Australia and India and investing in a strong management team led by John Behan, we are confident that AMPYR Distributed Energy is well positioned for 2024 and beyond.” About AMPYR Distributed Energy AMPYR Distributed Energy (ADE), a subsidiary of AGP Sustainable Real Assets, designs, builds, owns, and operates clean energy technologies that help its customers go green and reduce their energy costs.

AMPYR Solar Europe and Multiplex Sign PPA for Solar Power Station in Norfolk
read article
[London - November 9th 2023] AMPYR Solar Europe is pleased to announce it has partnered with Multiplex via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the Northwold Solar PV Generating Station in Norfolk, a deal which will help Multiplex take a step closer to achieving its net zero onsite emissions target by 2025. Built and operated by AMPYR Solar Europe (ASE), the solar power station will cover a total area of c.a. 40 acres and is expected to produce more than 9,000 MWh of green energy annually – enough to power the equivalent of over 2,100 homes. It will displace 2,850 tons of CO2 each year compared to traditional energy production. This agreement plays a pivotal role in Multiplex's sustainability journey, in line with its 'One Decade to Act' commitment launched in 2021. The initiative outlines the actions Multiplex will undertake to drastically cut its carbon emissions and reach its climate target of net zero carbon by 2025. Steve Mason, Chief Commercial Officer at AMPYR Solar Europe commented: “AMPYR Solar Europe continues its journey towards becoming a leading European IPP with world class assets in the UK, as well as in Germany and the Netherlands. I am pleased that this transaction builds on the capabilities of the commercial team at AMPYR Solar Europe. We are proud to be able to offer innovative PPA products, providing offtakers with the price and supply certainty they require to meet their sustainability goals. ASE is also delighted to support Multiplex with its ongoing 'One Decade to Act' commitment.” Following Multiplex’s commitment to a Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement in 2021, the first of its kind for construction in the UK, this deal will allow Multiplex to procure renewable electricity from this new-build solar PV project, meaning it will be considered additional. This ensures that Multiplex’s procurement of renewable energy directly leads to verifiable emission reduction and more renewable energy production, supporting the UK's national decarbonisation goals. "At Multiplex, we are committed to making a lasting difference in the environment, for individuals, and for communities," said Tom Marke, Business Performance Director at Multiplex. "This agreement marks significant progress in our efforts to reduce our carbon emissions and contribute to the industry's journey towards decarbonisation." The solar power station is expected to be fully operational by Q4 2024 and will provide renewable energy to Multiplex's construction sites and offices across the UK.
