Acquiring and Operating UK Energy Infrastructure
About
UK Energy Infrastructure Ltd (UKEI) is an active acquirer and operator of UK power generation assets and strategic energy land. We are building an integrated energy and digital infrastructure platform, targeting 8 GW of generation capacity across gas, offshore wind and co-located battery storage.
Founded on the conviction that the UK’s existing energy infrastructure is significantly undervalued, UKEI targets assets where the combination of grid connection, generation capacity and land creates a value stack that traditional owners have not fully exploited. We acquire at discounts to replacement cost, operate efficiently, and develop grid-connected land for the data centre and AI infrastructure boom that is reshaping energy demand across the country.
Our team brings together deep experience in energy asset acquisition, power generation operations, land development and capital markets.
Our Journey
UKEI was founded on a simple observation: the UK has an extraordinary stock of underutilised energy infrastructure power stations with grid connections that took decades to build, sitting on land with transformational development potential. Our job is to unlock that value.
​
Identify the Right Assets
We focus on OCGT and CCGT power stations with transmission-level grid connections, strong locations and motivated sellers. We look beyond the turbines to the total value stack: the connection, the land, the planning history, the contracted revenues and the development optionality.
​
Acquire at the Right Price
We target entry at a material discount to replacement cost typically 40–60% below new-build parity. Our pre-arranged financing capability allows us to move quickly and with certainty, which is a genuine competitive advantage in a market where speed and execution matter.
​
Operate and Optimise
We operate assets through experienced in-house partnerships, with revenues underpinned by tolling agreements, Capacity Market contracts and National Grid balancing services. Co-located battery storage adds a further layer of value capture. We hold a long-term tolling agreement with creditworthy energy companies.
​
Develop and Exit
Grid-connected land holdings are assessed for data centre co-location and hyperscale PPA opportunities from Year 1. Our exit routes include sale to a UK utility or infrastructure fund, a trade sale to a strategic buyer, or refinancing through a listed bond. We target leveraged IRRs of 21–29%+ across scenarios.
