Pensions for Purpose was delighted to invite Place-Based Impact Investing (PBII) Forum members to its online asset owner event on 20 July 2023.
Forum sponsor Triple Point were the delivery partner to the government for its £320 million Heat Network Investment Project and now, for its successor, the Green Heat Network Fund.
The challenge of how to decarbonise heating and cooling in the unique built environment is one of the toughest we’ll encounter on the road to net zero and heat networks will be a substantial part of the answer. With significant public funding, a growing pipeline of opportunities, and helpful policy tailwinds creating the conditions to unlock the £80 billion of private capital, which is required to come into the sector if it’s to fulfil its potential.
There’s much to be excited about in this compelling infrastructure market. Hear Triple Point’s Ken Hunnisett speak to Cantor Mocke of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy about why heat networks may be the next great institutional asset class.
Who is this event for?
The session was open to anyone involved in the governance of assets and pension funds such as trustees of corporate defined benefit plans, trustees of corporate defined contribution plans; master trusts; LGPS pensions managers and committee members, and in-house pension teams.
