The EAPF has a target of investing 17% of the fund’s AUM in climate solutions. These are investments that directly support the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy, while delivering long-term financial value.
An example of one of our investments in climate solutions is Vine Farm Solar Park which is owned by Schroders Greencoat LLP.
Vine Farms is one of the UK’s largest solar installations. It covers 88 hectares, contains 146,000 panels and generates 46 MW of clean, renewable energy, enough to supply 11,500 homes. The site also includes a nature reserve which supports local ecosystems. The nearby river has been revitalised as part of the project, and we’re thrilled to report sightings of brown trout once again.
