SI Capital believes that, in addition to its core focus on well established technologies (e.g. wind turbines, solar PV, biomass combustion), there are interesting opportunities for higher returns through placing early to market orders on new but nevertheless proven technologies - both on infrastructure assets and also by seeking a participation in the success of the technology providers themselves. We term this strategy InfrastructurePlus.

InfrastructurePlus criteria are strict and no technology development risk will be taken. This approach also enables SI Capital to leverage the venture capital track-record of Gordon Power who is a director of SICPE and sits on our Investment Committee.

Activities which could be classified as InfrastructurePlus

• Repowering of existing wind farms
• Retrofitting of value added technologies to existing infrastructure, e.g. advanced wind sensors and turbine control systems
• New inverters / smart grid technologies etc. on solar projects

SI Capital always looks for a strong investment case with capable management. SI Capital looks to work collaboratively with management teams over the longer term, to improve corporate positioning and execution and create realisable value.

SI Capital, through its team's specialist sector knowledge, adds value both at the top line, through its operational track-record and at the bottom line through considered and appropriate financial structuring and execution.

Above all risk is considered and assessed continuously, protecting strong management teams and corporate franchises, creating an environment for them to deliver to their fullest potential.
