We look forward to catalysing private investment to tackle climate change and boost regional and local economic growth at an even greater scale. Over the last three years we have invested over £3bn in projects in all four corners of the UK, and in doing so mobilised almost £11bn in private capital, supporting over 10,000 jobs.
John Flint, CEO, said: “We have a strong track record of deploying capital where it’s needed to unlock private investment in critical infrastructure along the path to net zero.
"We look forward to applying the skills and expertise we have built up over the last three years to invest the additional £7.3bn we have been allocated, and over the coming weeks, we will work closely with the Government to shape future arrangements to boost sustainable growth across the length and breadth of the UK.”
We will be working closely with the Government over the coming weeks as they shape the National Wealth Fund. Yesterday we announced a £150m investment in Hyperoptic to support the rollout of fast and reliable broadband across the UK, and with a busy pipeline of projects to support, we look forward to sharing news of further transactions in the coming weeks.
