Infra Dig – The Foresight Saga

IJGlobal Season 1 Episode 114

The Infra Dig podcast returns to its infrastructure fund interview format for this latest episode, interviewing 2 key players from UK-based clean energy investor Foresight Group.  

IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville sits down (in person for this latest podcast) with 2 Foresight partners – fund managers of Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners (FEIP) – primarily to discuss MaresConnect.  

The Infra Dig guests are Richard Thompson and Dan Wells and they are both deeply experienced infrastructure investors who have been building out the FEIP platforms for many years.  

While conversation ranges across the fund manager’s strategy, the podcast is centred on the interconnector is being developed by MaresConnect Limited – which is owned by Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners and Etchea Energy Nominees Limited.  

MaresConnect is an electricity interconnector that will run between Dublin and Bodelwyddan, Wales, and will link Irish and British electricity markets by 2030. The 750MW project will be around 245km.
