FGEN: Re-focused strategy centres on enduring income and growth

20th August 2025

FGEN  outlines evolved strategy amid macroeconomic shifts.

Foresight Group Environmental Infrastructure (FGEN), has unveiled a sharpened investment strategy aimed at balancing reliable income generation with disciplined long-term growth, reinforcing its position as a stalwart of sustainable infrastructure investing.

Below is a short interview with Ed Mountney, Investment Manager at Foresight, who provides a synopsis of FGEN’s refined strategy.

Central to the revamped approach is a refocused core portfolio of environmental infrastructure—across sectors such as solar, wind, anaerobic digestion, biomass, hydro, battery storage, and sustainable resource management—that offer stable, inflation-linked cash flows and contractual protections, reflecting structural shifts in the macroeconomic backdrop.

FGEN’s updated strategy does not signal an outright pivot, but rather a measured de-risking. Growth assets—such as Norway’s Rjukan vertical farming project and its cleaner transport venture in compressed natural gas (CNG)—are set for medium-term exits once fully ramped.

Meanwhile, existing income-generating assets will be held and managed with renewed focus.

The investment process remains underpinned by Foresight Group’s robust origination pipeline, multi-level due diligence, and active asset management, with ESG considerations integrated at every stage from screening to enhancement and eventual divestment.

With a portfolio of 40 assets across the UK and Europe—featuring a 16.3-year median remaining life and generating over 1,272 GWh annually—FGEN continues to blend diversification and predictability, positioning itself as a resilient choice in volatile markets.
