Landmark Deal Supports UK's Net Zero Ambitions
Capital Dynamics, a global private asset management firm, has been selected by the UK government to invest in clean energy infrastructure through the Clean Growth Fund. The deal marks a significant step in the UK's journey towards achieving its net zero emissions target.
Driving Investment in Renewable Energy
The Clean Growth Fund, managed by the UK government's Green Investment Group, aims to unlock private sector investment in clean energy projects that contribute to the UK's transition to a low-carbon economy.
Capital Dynamics will invest up to £200 million in renewable energy projects, supporting the development of wind and solar farms across the UK. These projects are expected to generate enough clean electricity to power over 250,000 homes, reducing the UK's reliance on fossil fuels.

In addition to its environmental benefits, the investment is also expected to create jobs and boost the UK economy.
Capital Dynamics estimates that the projects will create over 1,000 jobs in construction and operation. The projects will also stimulate economic growth in local communities where they are located.
Supporting the UK's Net Zero Goal
The deal underscores the UK government's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
By investing in renewable energy infrastructure, the government is helping to create a clean energy system that will reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment for future generations.
