<h3>About Foresight Solar Fund</h3>
<span class="x">Foresight Solar Fund Limited </span><span class="v">invests in a diversified portfolio of ground-based solar PV assets in the UK and internationally, to provide its shareholders with a sustainable and increasing income stream. </span>

The Company’s portfolio consists of ground based, operational solar power plants predominantly in the UK. Investments outside the UK and assets which are still, when acquired, under construction are limited to 25 per cent. of the Gross Asset Value of the Company, calculated at the time of investment.

Power purchase agreements (PPA) are entered into between each of the individual solar power plant SPVs in its portfolio and creditworthy offtakers in the UK. Under the PPAs, the SPVs sell solar generated electricity and green benefits to the designated offtaker. The Company may retain exposure to UK power prices through PPAs that avoid mechanisms, such as fixed prices or price floors.
