NextEnergy Capital has announced a further capital commitment of $100 million to its fifth strategy, NextPower V ESG, an OECD-focused solar and battery storage strategy targeting $1.5 billion with a $2 billion hard cap that has secured $580 million in commitments to date.
The additional capital was committed by a European pension fund, joining existing investors KLP, a German occupational pension fund and a Nordic pension fund.
NPV ESG started its investment cycle with a 100 MW utility-scale solar project under construction in Highland County, Fla. and has several other investment opportunities from its 18 GW pipeline under exclusivity..
“We are delighted to welcome a new investor into NextPower V ESG, which further accelerates the fund’s positive momentum and growth,” says Next Energy Capital’s Shane Swords.
“It’s wonderful to see NextEnergy Capital’s exemplary track record, extensive experience in solar and vast opportunities in the solar sector being recognised. NextPower V ESG is our largest international fund to date which will provide a real impact and tangible benefits to the communities and countries where its assets are located, whilst also providing an opportunity for investors looking for strong and stable renewable energy returns. This additional capital close is a clear indication to the market that, despite the current environment, investors are still seeking a specialist investment manager with a proven track record of successful delivery, deployment and superior return generation.”

Remembering Buckminster Fuller, 20th Century Super-Engineer and His Beliefs about Humanity
Fuller’s words here have been echoed through the ages, e.g., Mahatma Gandhi’s note: “The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.”
The problem: Most people living in our capitalist civilization care very little about what Bucky here called “livingry.” The typical person in the developed world thinks almost nothing about starving children and even less about recasting world society into a place where we take care of the wellbeing of everyone.
He was one of the great minds that have ever graced our planet, IMO.
Remembering Buckminster Fuller, 20th Century Super-Engineer and His Beliefs about Humanity
Six months ago, our local CVS drugstore had a manager, a handful of employees answering customers’ questions, checking them out at the cash register, stocking shelves, etc.
Last month, I noticed that most of these employees were gone, and the former manager was now stocking shelves. I also noted long lines of customers waiting for an automated checkout machine to become available.
Last week, I saw the former manager working at a nearby grocery store.
Also, the pharmacy is now closed for an hour for lunch. When I asked about this, I was asked, “Don’t you think we employees deserve to eat lunch?” I responded, “Of course I do. But can’t CVS afford to staff the pharmacy so customers are not inconvenienced?”
This is certainly not a unique–or even rare–occurrence; it seem that CVS is like most large corporations, driven by cost-cutting, while abusing their employees and their customers.
Barack Obama read the actual GOP agenda to a roaring Atlanta crowd Wednesday: a $1 trillion tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, paid for with higher health care costs and Medicaid cuts. Plus a war in Iran that everyone warned would push prices up. “(Democrats will) ban hamburgers and make everybody eat tofu,” he joked.
