Case Study: Advancing Clean Energy Solutions
An impact investment group came to us seeking opportunities in renewable energy technology, specifically looking for solutions that could accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.
Discovery Phase
Our research identified a company developing innovative energy storage technology that could significantly improve the efficiency of renewable energy systems. Through our network of energy experts and technical advisors, we conducted initial assessments that confirmed the technology’s potential impact and commercial viability.
Due Diligence
Our comprehensive evaluation included technical validation from independent experts, detailed patent analysis and thorough assessment of the commercialisation strategy. The founding team included leading researchers in energy storage technology and experienced business operators. Early prototype testing had demonstrated significant advantages over existing solutions and the company had already secured strategic partnerships with two major energy companies.
Investment Process
We arranged a series of detailed technical briefings and site visits for our client, bringing in industry experts to help evaluate the technology’s potential. These discussions led to a £5 million investment, structured to support both continued R&D and initial commercial deployment.
Ongoing Development
Over the past two years, we’ve supported both parties in executing the company’s growth strategy. The technology has been successfully piloted at three commercial sites, demonstrating performance improvements that exceeded initial projections. The company has expanded its team to 45 people and is now preparing for full commercial rollout. Our client has seen significant value appreciation and has helped secure additional strategic partnerships.
