In January, our Investment Management team were hosted by Proactive Investors to share insights into how our diversified portfolio continues to generate stable, inflation-correlated income and deliver long term value for investors.

Since launching in 2014, FGEN has maintained an uninterrupted dividend growth track record and is targeting a 7.96p annual dividend in FY26, equating to an attractive c.11% yield. 

In January, we sat down with Investment Manager Charlie Wright to learn about his path into renewable energy, his work at FGEN, and what’s driving the next wave of the energy transition.

Charlie began his career in infrastructure advisory at KPMG before moving into renewable energy investment in 2017. At FGEN, he leads investment origination and execution across Europe, having overseen around £700 million of projects spanning the UK, Nordics and continental Europe. He highlights growing opportunity in sectors such as anaerobic digestion and waste, where FGEN’s broad mandate enables the team to target new sources of long term value.

Looking forward, Charlie is energised by the rapid evolution of decarbonisation—particularly opportunities in heat decarbonisation, smart infrastructure, geothermal and long duration storage. He also emphasises the importance of sustainability at the heart of Foresight’s process, with investments assessed against environmental criteria, aligned to the EU taxonomy, and supporting FGEN’s commitment to a net zero portfolio by 2050.
