Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC) has backed Q-Energy in Spain with a further £120m (€132m) of debt funding.
The insurer of defined benefit pension funds said it provided the debt funding, as sole investor, for a further 12 solar parks.
In February last year, PIC made its first investment in the Spanish solar energy sector by investing £190m in solar bonds by funding 21 solar parks owned by Q-Energy. It later made an additional £277m funding in June 2020 to fund 29 solar parks, also owned by Q-Energy.
The solar plants, which have been in operation for 12 years, benefit from the Spanish regulatory framework for the full term of the bond, PIC said, adding that the ”framework provides payments from the Spanish electricity system, which guarantees an agreed level of return and ensures predictable cashflow”.

Alasdair Haynes, chief executive of Aquis Exchange, is old enough to remember Black Monday, the global market meltdown that sent stocks plummeting in a terrifying crash. But the first day of trading in 2021, as the UK began life after the Brexit transition, is up there with the most significant ones in British financial history, he says.
“Monday Jan 4 was one of those days out of the maybe two or three in a career where something extraordinary happens. I’m not quite certain that the man or woman on the street necessarily knows just what a fundamental thing happened.”
